Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me out there because it is imperative that I get music - I need it for work!!!!

I have been using Limewire for a few years now and have not had any problems, then all of a sudden, I couldn't search anymore! When I type in a search, it says it's searching but nothing comes up, even the most common ones that I have successfully downloaded before (like Michael Jackson). I tried uninstalling and re-installing newest version, but it still doesn't work and have updated Java. I've also got a banner that pops up everytime I hit "search" that never used to be there: "Only search results with a {picture of a padlock} are official Lime Wire LLC communications."

I'm not sure if it has something to do with my firewall or not. I've tried disabling my firewall and then trying Limewire again, but still the same problem.

Please Help!!!
