I have tried to check "Add/Remove Programs" and made sure limewire was not installed on my machine. Similarly I have go through MSCONFIG to check the registry to make sure it does not try to start up limewire. There is some other issue going on. Also, seems like limewire also tries to install some adware software on ones machine whic again causes other failures like IE to keep crashing! This is a big issue.

Can someone help me guide throughhow I can fix this issue?

Thanks

Well, I would say the bug is a virus (or worm) that you got; most likely from a LW version not downloaded from the official site (because they -the warez versions - try to install trojans and viruses)
