I'm almost relieved to see that someone else is having the same problems I am. I bought Limewire Pro last year, and it worked fine up until a few months ago, but 2008 for me. It says there's a firewall, but that symbol has always been there, when it worked before....plus, my anti-virus software has expired, so there's no working firewall stuff to speak of. I checked it anyway, under the firewall section of McAfee, and it was allowed, not blocked. I'm at a loss here! I'm going nuts! Plus, when I did the Limewire Pro Lookup, not ONE of my FOUR email addresses were recognized; obviously I know I bought, paid for, and used Pro so I don't know how that's even possible. Please help!
