Question Is LimeWire causing the router to block the Internet connection?
I have installed LimeWire on my computer in the company where I work. Is it possible that LimeWire, after beeing active for a while, causes the router in the company to block the internet connection? Maybe because it thinks that it is beeing attacked by a hacker when somebody tries to download from me?
Also, I would like to ask, if a technician somehow can see, that I have used LimeWire on my company's Internet connection and which files I have downloaded?

Yes, that's possible.

Of course they can.

If they have log files, they will be able to tell you were using LimeWire even after years....

My company doesn't have logs... It's a small company, so I am only connected to a router, that is connected to the Internet.
No logs or anything.
But I was thinking if the ISP logs the traffic?
