If your using Mcafee uninstall it because it's known to have problems with LimeWire. Replace it with avast, it's a good(FREE) one.

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

For the problem of no search results, try using PeerGuardian 2. It works like a mini firewall while your using p2p apps. They maintain block lists that block unwanted ip's, the probable source of the zero search results and probably why I haven't had that problem. Worth a try anyways .
