for some reason, when i try and download certain (mainly music) files, instead of the file downloading as usual and joining my downloads list, a pop up to some music website comes up and i dont know why. this seems to happen more when i try and download less well know artists. anyone know firstly why this happens and secondly how to stop it as it is really annoying! lol

thanks

Using the latest version of LW has fixed this for most people. You can get it here

For more info, use the search to look for artistdirect or redirected

is that the 4.12 one becasue i already have that one. and i have the pro edition too, so dont really wana pay for another one. what did you mean by the search thing? im really computer illiterate, sorry for being a bumb ***

4.12.3 has stopped most people from being redirected to websites.
The forum search is at the top of the page, between New Posts & Quick Links. You can use it to look through forum threads for info

ok cheers. i think i already have 4.12 but its still redirecting me which is crap. o well guess im just unlucky!

Try searching past the spamresults then
