The fact it identifies LW as totally different programs that work on totally different networks greatly suggests that it doesn't work properly. Someone who uses AOL complained of a similar situation yesterday. It seems the spyware that AOL special members use is not compatible with p2p software.

I can assure you, LW has been checked by independent sources (organisations) as being "totally" spyware & adware free! Perhaps your isp is not keen on p2p sharing. After all p2p uses great amounts of bandwidth & some isp's block or filter p2p because it slows down their networks.
Ok, should I uninstall Limewire and the Java that it installed and start again, and then allow those if it's picked up again as I really want to keep my current spyware programme.

Here is a list of the logs and please let me know if these should be allowed, the last 2, does that mean that I will have problems uninstalling Limewire?

KaZaA Registry hkey_local_machine \software\magnet Quarantine

Grokster Registry hkey_classes_root \magnet Quarantine

Application c:\WINDOWS\NDNuninstall6_38.exe Delete

Limewire Application c:\Program Files\LimeWire\GenericWindowsUtils.dll Delete

Limewire Application c:\Program Files\LimeWire\WindowsV5PlusUtils.dll Delete
