Birdy,

Thanks for the response. Actually, I found most of those suggestions in the forums, and they did seem to help, though I couldn't completely eliminate the spam. 'cest le vie. As for the hostiles file, since Windows Vista handles program settings differently, i.e. no Documents and Settings folder, I placed hostiles in /<username>/AppData/Roaming/Limewire instead. That seems to have helped. It's good to know that there are some knowledgable people in this forum, since many of these problems do not have intuitive solutions.

Thanks again.
