IE 6.0 Crashes with LimeWire 2.5.5 and McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1

#1 (**permalink**) September 5th, 2002

Like many others, I am experiencing the following problem - IE 6.0 crashes whenever I start to enter any text into the browser, while LimeWire is running.

After searching the forums I found a post that suggested disabling McAfee VirusScan. That appears to have solved the problem. With VirusScan (v4.5.1) disabled and LimeWire (2.5.5) running, IE 6.0 no longer crashes.

So who's problem is this? Is it a LimeWire bug? This didn't happen until I upgraded to 2.5.5. I tried disabling various features (download, Internet, e-mail scans) of VirusScan and the only way to solve the problem is to disable it completely.

I also tried another suggestion from the forums - removing the JRE that comes with LimeWire and installing JRE v1.4.0 from Sun. This did not solve my problem.

I think I would rather not run LimeWire then VirusScan. Both need to be active for IE 6.0 to crash. So until this problem is resolved I will not continue to use LimeWire.
