Since 2 days, wheneve I try to use limewire, it starts, then we see in the lower left side the connector gauge and it say, connecting to the server, but then after 2-3 minutes, its still at that step. I waited like 10 minutes and still at that steps... I reinstalled Limewire 2 or 3 times and still that same problems. So I wanna know if I'm the only one with that problems or if others have the same problems. It's maybe the limewire server whos updating... or whatever. But i need to know if im the only one o.o if not its surely the server but if yes.... maybe some help would be nicely appreciated :) And more disturbing is that i had a virus yesterday.... -_- my anti-virus didnt detected it and its a first, normally it always detect any virus until yesterday, maybe i'm flippin out but maybe its related to my limewire problems, maybe during the time im waiting that limewire is connecting to the server, there's a virus or spyware entering o.o It's not very cool since I had to reboot/reformat my computer and reinstall all -_- took 3-4 hour but atleast now the virus is gone. |

You sir, MAY be d00med I would perform a scan a bunch of times. Empty out the temp folder and check wahts in your shared folder. |

What is this buying word you speak of? Sounds like your being a heathen Mydin, and heathens get burnt at the stake..... Also, anything you DL like that should be scanned with a virus scan several times before use or installation. |

My little brother uses limewire, and I'm constantly scanning it every 2-3 days finding viruses and usually end up having to reformat it atleast every 2 months. <_< I myself personally prefer torrents when I want something, and when I want music I always rely on Youtube. :D If you find a song you want off of youtube, just use this handy lil' link: http://www.flv2mp3.com/, just enter in the URL to a youtube video and it'll convert it to a .mp3 for you to download. :3 |

:o thx for the tips :-) lol funny thing is that even after formating my computer.. it wasn't gone lol. It started again today but this time I had avg so he always detected it and i kept healing him but that threat alert kept coming back after 2 or 3 hour o.O so I scanned my computer again... nothing found, guess what? It still alerted me after 1 hour <_< Then I went to windows site to scan it with a specialized programs. guess what? when it came to the file that the virus always wanted to get in? 14 THREATS! lol..... i deleted them all and no more threat alert FOR NOW! I think it's gone now but geez, this virus was a tough one. If it re-begin I think I'll beat my comp with a baseball bat XD By the way the virus name is trojan horse Vundo so if you ever get infected by that virus..... good luck :) |

The vundo is one of the only viruses i've had on my comp. I knew it really didn't do anything so i just let it there and rot and i get no more virus alerts about it anymore. |

I had the Vundo once upon a time. I found a fix for it somewhere. even after you get rid of the virus, its wrapped around some file that almost all AV programs can't touch, so it keeps coming back. Even after the fix my comp was way slow. I had to reformat/reinstall everyting, luckily i had imaged my HD shortly before i got the virus. |
