Welcome to the world of Spyware. Your Infected!
Lime wire, Kazza, and other P2P contain so much adware when you install them that later they allow spyware and other Malware to install themselves to the point where soon your computer will be unusable.
If you must (lol) download music and videos and other files I suggest using a bitTorrent program. Search google for many, but I recommend BitTorrent myself.
BUT FIRST delete all of the above P2P programs.
SECOND; install and run ALL of the following programs to clean out your computer system.
They are recommended by the University Of Harvard Computer Science Department.
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (www.spybot.info)
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (www.spywareblaster.com)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Although it is illegal to download copyrighted material from Limewire as far as I know, I'll help anyway ;).
Chances are, Limewire is trying to generate revenue through advertisement. There is, as far as I know, no way to disable that. You will have to either put up with it, or use a different method of downloading, such as BitTorrent.

I heard from numerous people that I sholdn't have downloaded Limewire for that reason but, no one has told me what to do if that seems to happen. Sorry.
