Hi all,

Would be grateful if anyone could help. I downloaded what i thought was limewire yesterday but ended up with something called 360 share pro showing up on my desktop. I was asked to pay and chose a 99p option but ended up paying £50 because it sneakily added some protection stuff on it that I didn't want. Anyway, I wouldn't mind that but it won't connect. I then went to another limewire site and this looked more like the old one I used to use and it was free. So I downloaded that but it still won't connect. The connection display shows one bar and it won't go higher. It also has a brick wall in front of the the display which the website tells me is a firewall but I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2007 and turned off the windows firewall but still it won't work.

Can anyone help?
