Ahhhh Grandpa your not doing to bad lol...
Windows Firewall is all that I have is that a bad thing??
The norton security that I had previously didn't have a firewall either it was just the basic set up...

You can get zone alarm it is free but remember to configure it for LimeWire. And yes I do Like Norton's but it uses more memory but if you have plenty it is godd too.

Ewww no, any suggestions on which would be a good one that works in with
LW...
I do have Peergaurdian as well..
Avast AV
Spybot
Ad-Aware...

You guys are on the ball this morning, checking it out now....

Ok Grandpa all installed...Btw I did get a window come up saying something about Zone Alarm not being compatible with Avast, I just clicked the No button as it was suggesting disabling something in the zone alarm...I have allowed LW through and MSN and my emails...
Let me know if you think I've done something wrong...

Sorry I didn't know there was a compatibility issue.

You might want to read the last post in the thread below it tells how to fix the problem.

Luckily I clicked No, do you think it necessary to delete the line the poster was talking about (I didn't quite get what he meant)....

I couldn't find the line it says to delete. There is another link to the Avast site. Evidently Zone Alarm blocks Avast from assessing the Internet but it can be worked around.

This is what was suggested
If you are using ZoneAlarm Free you should click NO, because privacy features are not present in ZoneAlarm Free this will not turn off web shield transparent mode proxy.
Use a text editor and edit the avast4.ini file, the default installation location is C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini (I would advise you copy avast4.ini before editing it, just in case).
Locate the line containing ZoneAlarmCompatibility= and delete that line. Save the edited avast4.ini file.

If you are using ZoneAlarm Pro and Privacy Control in ZoneAlarm is set to High and if you click YES in avast compatibility dialogue box the transparent mode proxy in web shield will be turned off you have to manually configure browser to access internet. To manually configure your browser watch instructional video

Can you make heads or tails of that???

you are using free...

so, go to Root:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA

then locate the 'avast4.ini' file...

then right click and choose to open with notepad or wordpad...

then find the line of that .ini file that reads 'ZoneAlarmCompatibility='...

delete the whole line...

close notepad, choose to save changes, and turn the program on and see what happens..of course, follow the given advice to make a copy of the avast4.ini just in case things go whacked...in which case you might even have to boot into safe mode to remove the edited version, rename the original back to avast4.ini, then restart in normal mode....

oh, and obviously turn the program off before you start trying to edit the .ini file....
