I agree. I didn't even wait for a response. That evening I just deleted the program instead of installing it, deleted Limewire and repaired the Norton file. A lot of work and time. I enjoy the benefits of Limewire but now I'm afraid to down load it again. Seems I still had the problem with Norton untill I deleted and completely removed Limewire from my system. I'm a laymen and have been learning through trial and error over the years. Could it be my settings? If so how can I fix it and are there any hints for safer downloading and installing of P2P files? Thanks SL
