Hey! I've had a similar problem with limewire recently. It kept starting up only a few seconds after I'd shut it down! I found out that the reason it was doing this was because it had a worm (type of virus i think). Running a virus scan should pick it up and you can delete it. I used avast. My Limewire works fine now!

However, I've recently discovered an even better media downloading centre which is better than limewire. It's called MP3 Audio Station. Yeah, you do have to pay a one off subscription fee of $34.95 (a measly amout I think) but you get unlimited downloads for free for the rest of your life! You can download every kind of music (they have like 800 million songs), movies, tv shows, games, files, software. You can even get anti-virus and anti-spyware software for free! It's got no adware and no spyware! I've been using MP3 Audio Station instead of limewire recently. Limewire may be free but I find that the song quality is quite bad. I've found that the song quality is much better on MP3 Audio Station and I can find a lot more songs than I could on limewire! I would definately recommend it to any serious media downloader like myself! You can find out more about it through my link at http://www.i'manidiot.com edited by ddp

tinaM you need to read the user agreament on that site about the files that are on the site, this is what it says (Legal Info

A great deal of copyrighted material is available on file sharing networks. A lot of these files are being shared illegally every day. Please be aware that many files are not legal to share or download. Please do not use if you intend to download for legal purposes. Please read legal documentation before you begin downloading files from the Internet.

Copyright Infringement
Some files contained on these networks are copyrighted works, like popular games, movies, music, and software. P2P software makes it possible to upload and download copyrighted material from the Internet without proper authorization, but that can violate copyright laws and subject you to criminal and civil penalties. Please consult the user guide provided with the application.

Data Security
P2P software allows any user to access the files you place or move into your shared folder. If you?re not careful, files containing your personal and confidential information could inadvertently be uploaded for distribution on the Internet. This could cause a number of problems, including identity theft. We strongly suggest purchasing one of the major spyware applications available or visit our bonus software section for a free version.

Pornography
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software could contain pornographic material. These files may be mislabeled with seemingly innocent names. This can result in users, including children, being inadvertently exposed to pornography. Redistributing files containing child pornography or obscene content can be a crime.

Spyware
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software may contain spyware that can track your online activity, control your computer, or harm its operation. These files typically are disguised and can go undetected. We strongly suggest purchasing one of the major spyware applications available or visit our bonus software section for a free version.

Viruses
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software may carry computer viruses, worms, or Trojans that can damage your computer or cause other problems. These files typically are mislabeled to disguise their true purpose. We strongly suggest purchasing one of the major anti-virus applications such as Norton and Mcafee.

Using file-sharing (P2P) software for the uploading or downloading of copyrighted works without the permission or authorization of the copyright holders may be illegal and could subject you (or the ISP subscriber) to civil and/or criminal liability and penalties. For more information about U.S. copyright law, please visit http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/ and http://www.copyright.gov/title17.

Some content found on file-sharing (P2P) networks may be reproduced, uploaded and downloaded. There are a significant number of copyright holders who have authorized the sharing of their content for non-commercial purposes, such as some content with Creative Commons format licenses§, and there is also content available in the public domain and not protected by copyright. Most commercially released popular songs, films, and software is NOT authorized for free redistribution but requires separate purchase or licensing.

Original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain intellectual compositions are protected by copyright law. If a person publicly performs, reproduces, distributes copies, or displays works without consent of the copyright owner could be in violation of the law. Go to http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ and learn more about U.S. copyright law. Purchasing a membership in MP3Musiq.com does not give you license to download or upload copyright material. MP3Musiq.com implores you to respect copyright laws and share responsibly.

How can I stay legal?

It is important to ensure that you are only sharing files that you have the right to distribute. If you are in any doubt about whether a file is copyrighted, please do not share it.) this is just a heads up, your are paying for a service that you could still get in trouble for downloading copyright material good luck happy burning have a nice day
