So my computer was working absolutely perfect a long time. I was using lime wire for a while and then i got the LimeWire "Virus". The one where it opens right after closing. I Uninstalled Limewire and i ran some kind of program. Brute force uninstaller. to try and get the virus uninstalled. I can open my task manager and my CPU usage is normal. but i keep getting some kind of weird error messages when i start up. Also, there are shortcuts on my desktop for windows update and Help and support center. I try to delete them but they keep coming back. Any help would be appreciated.
