If you didn't purchase it directly from LW, you can't be 100% sure it was the actual LW page. There's some scam sites that do a version of LW & have a 'very' similar webpage. For a start, yo should have only paid $18.88! I would recommend you contact your banking/credit card co. & cancel the transaction. And then purchase the LW Pro version from http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml which is the official LW dwnld site. Have a look ath this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

Because LW allows their code to be open, there's also other parties who do their own (inferior) versions & then send their clients here for support. A bit of a cheek really. But luckily you're not a 1st time LW user.

If you'd prefer to try out the free version 1st (particularly after what you've been thru), then do that & see how that version fares. Any probs get back to us.
