I've tried everything to get some search results on LimeWire, and still no results. It's saying it detects a firewall, so I disabled the firewall, and it still detects a firewall... so then I uninstalled my firewall and restarted my computer and it STILL detects a firewall. What else can I do? LimeWire is added to my McAfee allow list for programs, and this problem happened first about one month ago. Before that I never had a problem. I contacted McAfee support and this is what they told me (I did this and still.. nothing...)

1. Open a new notepad
2. Copy and paste the following information in the notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\McAfee\Redirector\Port s]
"*"="Ignore"
"443"="Ignore"
"5190"="Ignore"
"5191"="Ignore"
"8505"="Ignore"
"1755"="Ignore"
"554"="Ignore"
"80"="Ignore"


3. Click on “File” in the Menu bar of the notepad window and then click on “Save As”
4. Type the file name as “fix.reg” (It can also be any file name but the extension should be .reg)
5. In the “Save as type” field, select “All Files”
6. Click “Save” and complete the saving process
7. Go back to the location where you save the file and look for the same registry file with the name by which you saved it
8. Double click on it and run it, click “Yes” if you get any warning message that says “Are you sure if you want to add this entry to the registry”
9. Retry the application (Limewire, Scottrade, Itunes etc..,) which had problems
10. It should work or you can also try to restart the computer and try.
