remvd limewire... still people accessing my pc... HELP PLEASE!!!

[midianad]

my system:
winxp pro (clean install prior to limewire free version installation)
cable internet service 3mb/384kbps
useing a linksys router / firewall enabled
f-secure firewall

issue:
I installed limewire (free version 4.10.5?) last night and tried it out for about 30mins. I found it to be slow searching and downloading so I thought i'll buy it and run it to see if it changes. well when i uninstalled it i noticed that my internt connection was a bit slow. so i rebooted. i ran a netstat -a -n and i noticed people were now connecting to my pc as well as limewire. i proceeded to remove /.limewire folder and anything else i found. still no change. people kept connecting to my port 80 and bogging me down. as a last resort and 3 hours later I turned off my file & printer shareing in tcp/ip. it has stopped the connections to my pc but i need to keep that on for other reasions. my fire wall is not catching the connectiion unless i block all traffic.

has anyone else seen this issue or corrected it before me? if more info is needed i can provide anything that is asked. whois responces as well as netstat.

Thanks
