Default multiple instances of limewire caused by worm

Im getting a few instances of limewire starting up and when you shut one down it opens again. It s resulted in over 1500 small zip files being downloaded into shared folder which filled the C drive
I deleted them and ran adaware-se which found a worm which I deleted called ?? sorry i didnt note name.
Now when I uninstalled limewire it only half uninstalled. Also I cant run regedit. I do not have any files called wininstaller as stated elsewhere in the help forums
