Question FULL Removal

Does anyone know how to remove limewire completely? There is a program installed on my work pc that searches for unautorized software. I have 15 days before it narks on me. I've already ran the uninstall program and erased everything in the registry that is listed here:

Go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run.
If you find the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\run\limeshop, delete it and reboot the machine immediately.

Remove these registry items (if present) with RegEdit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\internet explorer\menuext\limeshop preferences
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion\explorer\menuorder\start menu\programs\limewire
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\installer\userdata\s-1-5-18\components\9e11dbbf317d89b4f92af7d63ab22d26
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\installer\userdata\s-1-5-18\components\a8cebe6cec02c7d40a450c6455a6ad2e
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\installer\userdata\s-1-5-18\components\c0da82cffcfbb79419d1189c955ee262
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\run\limeshop
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\bet.url
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\bonzi.url
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\browserpage.dll
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\limeshop.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\limeshop.html

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\money.url
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8\root\magnet10\options.js
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\uninstall\limeshop.xml
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\curr entversion\uninstall\limewire
HKEY_USERS\s-1-5-21-725345543-1078145449-1343024091-500\software\microsoft\internet explorer\menuext\limeshop preferences
HKEY_USERS\s-1-5-21-725345543-1078145449-1343024091-500\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\expl orer\menuorder\start menu\programs\limewire

Remove these directories (if present) with Windows Explorer:
commonprograms+\limewire
programfilesdir+\limeshop
programfilesdir+\limewire

I just rebooted and re-ran the "workstation security tool" and it still detects it. Does anyone know of any other changes that limewire makes that could be detected by this software. BTW the scan takes less than a minute, so i'm guessing that it scans the registry wrather than the entire hard drive. Please help, I can't afford to get fired and pay for music
