The locked items refers to official updates suggesting that LW has detected spammed windows virus files calling themselves LW updates.

As for zero results, check these links: (a) Problems with the search, ___ (b) Hostiles List.
These will help prevent (a) connecting to dud ultrapeers, (b) help block out known spammers who flood search results with junk or fake files.

If still no good, try disconnecting LW for 5-10 mins & try again, keeping an eye on your LW Connections window to be sure you are not connecting to same ultrapeers each time if you are still having problems. Do this several times if problem persists.

If still no good, try deleting your LW prefs folder whilst LW is CLOSED; Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX. Then repeat (a) & (b) above.

If still problems after that, please supply these details: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)
