Why do I keep getting this pop-up?

Question

Yesterday, I uninstalled Limewire because it wasn't working properly. Today, every twenty seconds, the Limewire logo pops up as if Limewire was going to open. Then that closes and a Java pop-up thing comes up saying there is a corrupted installation and a invalid file. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I would go into the registry files and remove all traces of Limewire, but if you don't know what you are doing this can cause more problems.
If you decide to edit your registry files ,first make a backup so you have a point of restoration.

So I found a Limewire forum here is the url http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpost.php?p=231269&postcount=141
