wrong for using limewire, but...?

It's wreaking havoc on my comp. after having deleted it. Anyway to completely erase all of its components from my computer? These "limewire launcher error" messages keep coming up...and I think it keeps uploading zip files every time i log on. I've done virus scans but nothing shows up? Any help would be appreciated greatly

thanks

    Go into your computer" file "and look around for any Limewire leftovers -- delete them.

    Download "CCleaner" from "Filehippo,com"--- use this program to "uninstall",and also to clean-up any "issues" left behind .

    Go to your firewall and have a look around for any Limewire stuff--delete any

    Check all your "start-up" programs >> you can use CCleaner to do this -- delete Limewire.

    Then use >> Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup -----

    Then go back to System Tools > Disk Defragmentation and defrag your H.D.

    Then reboot and run another virus check

    AVG 7.5 and Lavasoft are a couple good ones -- get them at Filehippo.com-- along with some other good programs you might want.
