3. How do I allow limewire past the firewall as like a "trusted program" without completely disabling my firewall (which would leave me open to viruses, ect..)
Thank you for your help.

Try this (config nortons internet security) if that doesnt work try this link (lw nortons internet security 3007) scroll down to post #3 by shanah16 --
someone else tried this:-
What i did is i went to the Norton Antivirus icon and i opened it. Then, i went to "pc security" and then to "manage firewall." Then i went to "program rules" and i scrolled down to limewire. To the right of the name was a thing that gave me three options. I could either allow it, block it, or custom. I chose allow and then i closed it and it worked! Im not sure if this will work for others because I have the newer version of Norton Antivirus but hey, its worth a shot.
