Limewire has spyware btw.

Try uninstall/reinstall.

Was it working before? Or did you install it for the first time?

Did you pirate it, or buy it from their site?

Is it running in the process list?

Uninstall Limewire. Use a registry scanner (Google a free one). Locate it's install location (C:\Program Files\Limewire), delete it.

Try installing again.

Did it work?

If not, check the NOD32 site, and the Mcafee for solution, becuase some firewalls have issues with certain programs.

Also, if you want a better firewall, I'd reccomend COMODO Firewall Pro, it's free, BRILLIANT!!, and shows every little thing that happens. It has saved my computer so many times. I'm quite the pirate, and when I downloada file, the program tries to access your internet or important system files. You can block these requests.

Thanks I did kinda of what you said but I already had one with Tune up uttilities so i uninstalled that
tried to uninstall my mcafee but didn't work so i disabled it and working on deleting it

I have ZAP now so I am fine with that
NOD32 is fine

and I downloaded the free version of frostwire off of www.frostwire.com
and is working perfectly fine...


I needed to "tune up" my PC anyway it was getting sluggish

thanks for the help

Just so long as you didn't bother with comodo chocolate fireguard and don't have limewire (or whatever variant it is) set to start on bootup.

You need to control the thing, so that it is only connected when you say it can be, and not all the time or you will be wondering where your bandwidth went.
