hey i'm new here so i'm VERY sorry if this has been discussed somewhere...
this is driving me crazy.
When i do a search with LimeWire a warning comes up that, in my estimation, is slowing things down to the point of almost stopping.
\"! only search results with a (lock) are an official LimeWire communications\"
This warning never came up in the past...and i've never had problems with the service. Now i do.
i cannot download songs now...or it is extreeeeeeeeeemely slow.
Ive tried enabling, disabling firewalls...installing and reinstalling the program. nothing helps.
Any tips?

That wouldn't be the problem as that padlock notice you see at the top of your searches is to notify you of a particular search result that contains a virus...
It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates...

Could you supply these details please, so we can take a look at what might be slowing you down...
