LimeWire is NOT loaded with spyware. It has none at all. Unless you're stupid enough to download it from a site other than the official LimeWire site. In which case whoever runs that site will have added the spyware themselves to make a quick buck from limewire and stupid people.
LimeWire will also not infect your computer with anything, unless you're stupid enough to download EXE files or ZIP files rather than mp3s.
1) Only download LimeWire from the official site (limewire.com) - NEVER anywhere else.
2) Watch what you download.
3) You're already infected. Clean your machine. Run anti-virus and anti-spyware scanners NOW.

That's because the files you've downloaded are malware, hence garbage.
You need to get rid of those at once (DON'T run "uninstall" programs that came with the download!), run anti-virus and adware immediately, and be more careful what you download from Limewire.

Uninstall Limewire and run your adware and anti-virus software.
Limewire is loaded with spyware and corrupt files. I only recommend it to people who know how to easily spot these kinds of files, and even then, Limewire kind of sucks.

Does the adsite claim it's going to help you remove errors? If so, you might have "ucleaner" which is very hard to totally get rid of.
