I have removed limewire from my laptop, due to it openning its self when ever it feels like it. Now instead of it opening i get a message telling me that files are missing(see below). I don't want limewire on my laptop and i don't want the message either, can someone help?


This is the message that is displayed, if i close the window it pops back up again.
