I think you should just get rid of it all together. I had it but it crashed my computer 3 times, it was horrable. As for the pop ups just get a pop up blocker.

Last time I checked, Limewire doesn't have popups.
I am going to recommend that you get adaware ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) and avg ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)), which are free antivirus programs, and so a full scan of your computer.
Then, I'm going to recommend that you not download files which are in dangerous formats, such as .wmv and .asx.
Edit: I feel compelled to append this after all the bad answers given.
Limewire is not an unstable program. It has very, very rarely crashed any of the three computers I have used it on except in exceptional circumstances.
I know that was a joke, but you do not recieve a virus for every song downloaded.
Limewire is not illegal. Downloading or uploading copyright content with it is.
Turning off sharing will not do anything at all to stop you from getting viruses.

Your computer is going slower because you're downloading stuff. When there's a lot going on, things slow down. The pop ups however, you'll just have to deal with or get a pop up blocker.
