limewire
norton system works 2005 firewall is blocking limewire from accessing the internet. I cant find the firewall settings in norton to unblock limewire.
Hi
That's probably because of Java Runtime Enviroment firewall permissions. Limewire is a java written flie sharing client so it's permission to go over the Internet is strongly releted to the permission you give to java/javaw etc... that's probably why you cannot find the precise rule for limewire.
Just in my opinion I have to tell you that both Limewire and NSW 2005 firewall is a bad choice. They're both very slow and heavy applications. Yet that's only my personal point of view, doesn't matter with the question.

Hi
@ Merete
Thanks :-) What dou you mean by "the best" ? I mean what in terms of CPU/Mem. usage? I'm really interested about it I like that java project yet I disappoint it because of its "weight" (anyway it's alway java...). If you could send me more info about those limewire "tweaks" I'll be very happy thanks :-)

Limewire is a P2P file sharing software package, and as such represents a huge threat to your computer. It comes bundled with spyware, and if you let it bypass whatever firewall you have
then Spybot and Adaware will be kept busy trying to remove everything malicious that floods in.
There are plenty of "better" (ie. safer) applications which do the same job.

@phototropic lol disagree I have had no spyware or problems with Limewire. With anything put inplace protective measures such as assiging the virus program to scan any incoming files. Especially msn etc. Anything incoming must be scanned first.
Windows media player is just as dangerous and that is part of windows. Emails..The biggest killer of computers is people themselves who donot update their software definitions. :)
