Thanks hobo,spinx and granpa for taking the trouble to advise a newbie I seem to have sparked of a strong debate on Limewire pro. On your advice I have contacted my cc company and they have advised me to keep checking for unauthorised withdrawls it seems I am insured for such events which is a relief I have conflicting information on that particular subject. When I signed into Limwire I kept getting a new start up screen asking me what language I what to use, then asking for a scan of my system I declined. Again on your advice I have uninstalled the version I had and did a scan for adware/spyware and reinstalled the latest version from the official site. Maybe I might be on the right track now.
