Limewire worked fine for a while then, after installing Norton Antiviurs, I had similar problems with it crashing/freezing as have been described. I put all of the Limewire files in the trash and downloaded it again. (unfortunately I also threw away all of my shared folder--stupid). Anyway, I still had the crashing problems. I then tried deactivating Antivirus and the crashing problem stopped. Does this make any sense? If so, what do I do about virus protection?
