I'd honestly reccommend getting rid of it right away. It's full of spyware and viruses and it's just bad. Download the songs legally (or from someplace safe) instead =]

Most P2P applications are like this. Also, limewire is very, very trackable and opens you up to the RIAA. The last thing you need is a letter because you downloaded something and a corporation with more money than sense tracked it to your house and decided that your parents don't have enough resources to fight a lawsuit.
Limewire:
-Has more malware(viruses) in the *network*, none in the program itself
-There are much more songs than blubster on limewire
Blubster:
-Is bundled with adware
-You are less likely to get caught illegally downloading with it
I recommend limewire over blubster. If you really want to use blubster, use piolet instead. It connects to the same network as blubster, but you can opt out of the adware (pay attention in the installation): [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
It's not morally wrong to use limewire, but it is often illegal.
Your firewall is blocking limewire. Disable it in control panel. Some antivirus programs also come with firewalls, check them. If you are sure you have no firewalls, then you have a router and the router is blocking it.
orphans answered Wednesday February 13 2008, 4:36 pm: it all depends...most of the people in my school use limewire for free songs on itunes (which is illegal) and they have all ended up with viruses. But if you are using it for the real purposes, and paying there is nothing wrong with that. As for what could be wrong with it...i am honestly not sure, im sorry. But i am going to refer you to the columnist theymos. theymos specializes in computers and computer situations.
GoOd LuCk!!!
ps
Sorry, i really hope i helped a little! and if you go onto my advice column, you can find theymos there...under favorite columnists! :-] [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
