By the way as reported on a spyware forum, most don't work properly & some even have spyware themselves. Yes it most likely is the magnets causing the warnings. We'd recommend ad-ware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ (FREE)

I believe that Norton recommends against running 2 firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. I'd suggest you disable Win XP's firewall.

Some other things you can try (other than above hints) are:
1. Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!
2. Share less files.
3. Leave LW to settle for 10-20 mins before using.
4. Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.
5. When not actively using LW or not in front of computer then hide it in the background or in the task bar. Hiding in the background will result in LW using less resources.

6. Downld hints: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
