Reboot your computer. When it starts to reboot, press and hold the F8 key in the very top row. There will be some startup options including Safe Mode. Select safe mode and wait until your computer starts. In safe mode you will be able to delete almost anything. I'm sure you will have no problem deleting those 2 files.
Good luck.

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is advised.
Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions:
• Remove Windows Installer
• Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does perform the following functions:
• Provides a dialog box in which you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer
To do this, select the programs that you want in the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
• Removes the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select
If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.

first of all stay away from limewire, that's where spywares and viruses are tested, trust me; any ways you need hijackthis, you can download it from majorgeeks.com or download.com, it's easy to use, just make sure you download it to a new folder, before runnuing it, good luck
ps don't waste your time with that other crappy answers, sick and tired of reading moronic answers, people will write anything for 10 points.
