can't download

OK, I've used LimeWire successfully with both Verizon DSL & Comcast Cable. I've also used it successfully after reformatting my computer. Well, I reformatted my computer last week & got reconnected with Comcast Cable. Now, when I try to download a song nothing happens. There is also a warning at the top of the page saying that files that don't have a lock are not official LimeWire communication which never happened before. Can anyone help me? Please?????????/

Go to Tools > Options > Searching > lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...

The orange warning banner with the padlock was added because there's a bogus LW update showing up in search results. It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates....
