    My brother has downloaded Limewire on my laptop,

    Two folders have saved to me desktop, the green limewire emblem and another folder called limewire,

    I do not want limewire on my laptop, so i uninstalled it, the two folders on my desk top are still there and there still is a limewire file when yoou press start, it won't allow me to delete them because ' I need permission' I'm lost.

    Does anyone know whats happenin.

    Limewire might be starting automatically on startup and running as a service. If thats happening then it might not uninstall properly, and you might not be able to delete the folder and icon from your desktop because they're in use. Do a ctrl+alt+delete and check the processes to see if it might be running. If it is, kill the process and try uninstalling it again
