HELP, limewire popup

[art]

2 days ago I downloaded and installed Limewire. I explicitlydid not want to start limewire when windows starts so I did not enable that option. But it does. And now after uninstalling it I get The following popup:

One or more necessary files appear to invalid.
This is generally caused by a corrupted installation.
Please try downloading and installing limewire again. (done that: NO EFFECT)
If the problem persists, please visit blabla. (HERE I AM)

LimeWire version 4.12.6
Java version 1.5.0_09 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 2791704/4128768

It sounds like you have a virus. Please try the easy fix mentioned at the end of point 2 in the sticky below...that's worked for lots of people.
Otherwise, point 5 of that sticky has links to sites you can visit for computer help
