now it wont even take me to the main page when i click the limewire icon, this is frusturating

In that case, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) It might also be worth reinstalling LW (but use the "Offline" installer.) Perhaps removing some of those security apps has affected LW negatively somehow.

well i just did a destructive system recovery and didnt install the norton internet security yet, and turned my windows firewall on allowing limewire, i installed limewire and windows firewall asks to unblock the limeiwre swarmed installer but says nothing about unblocking limewire itself when i start it

Hmm did you reconfigure the firewall; Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

ya i tried, but it still didnt work, i just went to configure personal firewall and then to the advaned tab, then i clicked general, and scrolled down and saw the block access to secure sites is blocked and block windows file sharing is blocked too, both are check in the small white box on the left too

do you guys think that this is even fixable? or is it just a lost cause trying to get limewire connecting on this computer

thx rufuscodd, i will try that in a little bit

aww i wasnt so lucky didnt work lol

oh bloody hell. sorry. hope you get it sorted. will keep a look out for your posts

I am so out of ideas...I have no idea why you cannot connect to Limewire

Why don't you try Frostwire and see how you go with that...
