im gonna come str8 out and ask
 

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 :D

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.
