Applebottom: I'd call my credit company & cmplain that you found out it was a scam. View you way thru this thread about membership scams: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751 There's a few pages but there's some advice there.
Your modem should have a brand name listed on it. Also, somewhere perhaps on the bottom or side it will have a model no. To make sure about your XP firewall & Norton security see: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml You'll see a reference link for Norton at bottom of page. Follow their directions.

Roadunner: Please tell us the brand & model no.'s of your modem & router (if you have one) & also check your Norton setup for LW to be on the safe side.
