Ya, I know it is bad not to have a virus protection. It is a new computer and I am waiting for the virus protection to come in the mail. In the mean time I will download one you recomended. I went through the process of forwarding the port, but it still says I am behind a firewall, and limewire still wont connect. I have tried many different ports between 40000 and 60000. I set up a static IP address. What am I doing wrong. Please help. Thanks for your time and effort
