I do have a question for you though. On another forum a person named Don't Wanna Name suggested Avast as a good anti virus and says it doesn't interfere with LW and b4 I go installing it have you heard anything about it.Also, where will you see exe,rar,zip n wma at. Would it be under file name or what????? I must be getting annoying but thanks for the help |

Hi Jessie. Avast doesn't interfere with LW as far as I know, is it free ? Here are some of the security programs we recomend http://www.grisoft.com(good free AVG) http://www.ewido.com(>>now called AVG Anti Spyware<< free 30 day trial -the best in my opinion) http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/(free) http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free) Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE) OK Babe

I hope this works for you guys. I bought a new computer with Windows Vista Home Edition and it came with Mcafee. I uninstalled the Mcafee and restarted my computer. I installed the AVG free edition antivirus. The resident shield wasn't working so I reinstalled choosing the repair option. I then started Limewire and IT WORKS GREAT. I really don't care if I ever reinstall Mcafee as long as I have an antivirus program. My daughter bought the same computer and it worked on hers also. I had already updated to JRE6 before I tried this so I don't know if that was necessary but I do know even with updating the java Limewire did not work before I uninstalled Mcafee. So obviously it isn't Windows Vista that causes the problem with Limewire.. |
