Did the antivirus not free it? If it just identified it, go to Symantec support and find the downloads to clean all known viruses.

yea he's right, also you really might wanna consider getting rid of limewire. As for the actual process of getting rid of it you need to run a system sweep and then it'll walk you through the steps to quarrentine the mal-ware and then delete it. Also keep in mind if you do this it may interfere with limewire working properly, as limewire uses some files that most spyware programs will identify as mal-ware.

Run Norton, also download and run: Ewido, Spybot-Search and Destroy, and Ad Aware
Delete anything that comes up. Restart your computer.
Should delete your virus. I also recommend uninstalling limewire though, it will end up giving you multiple viruses that could one day crash your computer.
Easy Maintenance - Download and Run EasyCleaner (may catch viruses before they start attacking) Run all the options, delete everything that comes up, dont worry you can always undo what you click, restart your computer.
