I JUST installed limewire and haven't used it yet. These are my problems:
1 It won't allow me to block ultrapeers from uploading, several are trying to upload but only 3 at a time allowed. I set it to 0 users and 0 bandwidth. I restarted limewire..nothing changes...there are still ultrapeers uploading from me.
2 What ARE they uploading?! When I haven't downloaded anything yet. I'm pissed bc I noticed my desktop available for upload, I quickly removed that. WHY was my desktop set for upload?! I restarted the application but seeing that so many ultrapeers were still trying to upload, and that I couldn't stop them it appeared to me they probably are accessing and uploading something from my desktop!
3 I tried uninstalling limewire. It only uninstalls the desktop shortcut, from the start menu, and possibly the "add remove programs list" if it was there...now its not. BUT it is STILL in my program files, my documents, and registry. It still runs!
4 I'm upset that I can NOT see what ultrapeers are uploading. I should be able to see the files they upload from my computer, as an integrity/security check to make sure the program is safe and running properly. But this is not an option.
5 Same problem removing frostwire. I downloaded limewire and frostwire at the same time..I had NOT used either yet. Frostwire would not allow me to block users from uploading. Again I dont understand what they are uploading.
Yes I have an antivirus I pay for, I have windows firewall, and all windows updates. My operating system had been reinstalled recently and not used much. But I'm afraid that ultrapeers were able to access my norton serial key, etc and access cookies/etc to view passwords used on the internet etc..any other personal information that hackers would want. I don't feel like limewire is safe and I dont understand Why I couldn't block uploads and so many things seemed faulty from this program.
