Hey computer gurus i need your help. I have limewire and kazaa and have been using it for years. I recently install norton antivirus and norton antispam. So now I think something is wrong with my firewall because when i seach for something in either limewire it finds 0 results and if I use kazaalite it finds the thing i'm looking for but it doesn't download. It just says connecting...
I know a thing or two about computers but I'm still a noob with somethings, someone please help.
Id actually just shut down the norton firewall and windows firewall if you are running them, that should allow the data to transmit/recieve
i'm too lazy to provide good answers because they get technical and i don't know how "deep" their computer ninja skills are, hehe. uninstalling antivirus would be easy, muhaha i never use antivirus and i never have problems, i just run a software firewall, xp firewall, and my hardware firewall (router)
it isn't the antivirus, it's the firewall. you need to open up the ports that limewire and kazaa use
some antivirus programs block certain ports so it could be the antivirus... i have symantec system works and i had to open a few ports up (especially for my ftp and gaming

yes, i know norton blocks ports and programs from comming in. Just disable norton and see if that works and dont forget to unblock it from windows firewall also.
