Since I installed the AVG Internet Security Pack 3, my Limewire has been unable to connect. I have checked around the Internet, and most solutions indicate to add an exception. Which I have done.

See here. http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/5342/gaywirecg2.png

Still doesn't work. I'm stuck, and in need of help. Thanks in advance.

(1) Open AVG(firewall) and find the applications or connections tab where it shows all the programs that have been permitted/accepted by AVG firewall. (2) Find Limewire hilite it and delete/remove it. (3) Now reboot yr computer (4) open/start Limewire and a Popup box from AVG Firewall should appear asking if you wish to permit or deny this program (5) click permit -- now that should do it if it doesn't --
In Limewire Links (below) click on (system details) fill in and post back here
