I have only been using Limewire for about a week and twice after downloading software i found that my windows xp was not functioning properly (system restore and search weren't working at all, file management was severly un-manageable, etc.) and my norton antivirus 2004 was frozen.

The first time it happened I found on the norton website that i needed a file called scripten.exe which i downloaded and installed and both windows and norton were operatibg properly. Luckily i saved the file because exactly the same thing happened again the very next time i downloaded software.

Each time after fixing the problem, i ran norton antivirus, spybot, and adaware (not to mention pcmedik, registry mechanic, asmw pc-optimizer) and found nothing wrong. I suspect the problem might be with the java software required for Limewire but i'm not sure and i don't have a clue what to do about it

Any ideas?
