had a virus, had to reboot computer, now can not get my service back $50.00 down the drain ?

You were scammed if you forked out $50.00 Limewire basic (which you probably had), is free from www.limewire.com From the same site you can purchase Limewire pro for US$18.88 if you wish.

I don't need to warn you to use an updated anti virus programme very regularly, and also anti spyware.

Have a look at this thread. You will see you are not alone http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751
