McAfee is a big one for connecting issues and having McAfee and Avast is not such a good idea as they can clash with each other and leave you unprotected...Also you should only run 1 firewall, choose which one you want and disable the others..

It sounds like a graphics issue, but normally when you run Vista-McAfee-Limewire, limewire will close down, maybe your screen is going funky instead...

It could also be a Java issue...So firstly try this...
Uninstall your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

Then try deleting your preference folder...

If that does not help, you may have to have a look at McAfee...These threads explain different ways members got their set ups running smoothly...

So hopefully those fixes will get you up and running, but (there's always a but) if you configure McAfee correctly and you still see a firewall icon, your D-Link could have a Nat Firewall...
