Downloading issue...

[missella]

Hi, sorry to post yet another downloading issue but all the threads I have read dont seem to be giving me any joy.

I am using windows 98 and set limewire up a few days ago, managed to download some files no worries. I then downloaded zone alarm and avg antivirus software (both free versions) and thats when the trouble began. I have checked out the bug reports in options and I am getting a false reading on 'incoming this session'. I have been to zone alarm and have checked the ask button for limewire line but noted there is no javaw.exe line (should there be?).

I am new at all this and cant seem to get it happening. Even if you could direct me to somewhere in the forums that could give me some extra guidance would be wonderful.

[et voilà]

javaw.exe is now known as the limewire.exe process since LW 4.2 I believe

aye that was somthing i did notice myself, there is no javaw.exe the only thing that my firewall needs to allow is Limewire.exe.

As javaw.exe was a system file for java and limewire.exe does not seem to be, would it b safe to permanatly alow limewire.exe access through the firewall or should i do as the setup docs recomend and only allow it access whilst im useing the program as i dont want any old java programs gaining access, baering in mind that the setup firewall help files were writen with javaw.exe in mind?
