I am running Limeware 4.8.1 on Windows 2000. Yesterday
Limeware behaved very strangely. Without me requesting
it Limeware seemed to update itself and change its behavior
in the following ways.

1. It started using WMP to play some of my mp3 files.
Previously it always used the internal mp3 player

2. The saved files in my library temporarily disappeared.
I was able to restore them with Refresh

3. Search changed to display genre, artist and album windows
after clicking on search. Clicking on "back to search" restores
the search window which is what I far prefer. I have no interest
in the genre, artist and album windows and previously they
were never displayed after the search. I can't figure out how
to return to the previous behavior

4. Some of my settings like upload slots "magically" changed
and I had to manually restore them

5. Perhaps worst of all, shortly after I started using Limeware,
a sort of browser window opened. It changed the title
to "Enabling Open Information Sharing" and hung limeware
for about 30 seconds. My Limeware now has the new title.
I checked the date stamp on my Limeware executable and it has not changed, but things certainly are different.

Can anyone explain this behavior?? Is there some sort of automatic update over the internet taking place? Is it documented anywhere?
