Suzuki_Rider,

You need to post your system details: System details - help us to help you

If your using Mcafee Uninstall because it's known to have problems with LimeWire.

Also uninstall java via the add/remove programs and download java 6(JRE) using the offline installer: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

I'm not familiar with Shield Pro 2007. You can try it and see. avast is a good FREE one. I use Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition also free.

Some people have had success by uninstalling and then reinstalling McAfee.
