is limewire spyware?

No. And ignore the M$ spycheck, it doesn't work properly. But then, what of M$ does work properly - certainly not their OS's. lol

reason for this post im constantly getting disconnected.im told that it may be my puter defending itself.id love to continue supporting limewire(imho)you guys and gals rock.but i need to not be disconnected.

What protection softwares are you using?

Can you give us all the details about your computer set up?

firstly,im a computer goofball.its shamefull.2ndly,does port and firewall #'s have to be the same?6348 is the # i see as the port and 6346 is the firewall #.lastly,im using so much stuff trying to safeguard my a$$....pc tools spyaware,spy subtractor,avg,some built in stuff......its crazy,after an hour or so ,w/o fail...i get d/c.

I don't use Win XP so I don't have all that xtra stuff. Just be careful of the spychecker that belongs to M$.

The ones I'm aware of that are apparently trustful are: ad-ware , & Spybot - Search & Destroy , & Spy Sweeper

Which anti-virus are you using?

Are you using Windows XP? Did you configure your firewalls to allow Limewire (LW) full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Do you know if you have win XP SP1 or SP2?

anti virus i use is AVG.and i do allow limewire as an exception in my firewall section.when i click on tools here on limewire,my port and firewall numbers are different.can that be the cause of my discontent?and let me repeat,you guys and gals are awesome.tyvm for your time.

I don't know! With the new version LW the firewall settings are different. I popped the same question to one of the LW developers but I'm still waiting.

ok,tyvm.as annoying as restarting is,theres worse things.

I run WindowsXP MCE sp2 and Norton Internet Security (2004)

My Listen on Port is 6346 In NIS I allow full access for that port.

I also have sp2 firewall disabled.

I don't know about AVG, but you may see how I have mine configured.
