If you are not using the LW Pirate Edition, then check here,
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...e-edition.html see post #3 if you are using Windows. File_Girl removed some unnecessary & some now non-working items such as the AVG.
Let's hope some FrostWire users stick to version 4 & do not update to the upcoming FW 5 version which will no longer use gnutella network but only torrents. I had my party on what I thought about that in a recent post, I'd best not advance on that. lol
