Problems since upgrade to 4.12
 

I recently upgraded to 4.12 from 4.10 and since then I keep getting Security Alerts from Norton (2005) saying the Internet Worm Protection has detected that a remote sytemis attempting to access my computer. I keep clicking Permit but another one pops up. The Remote address and Remote Port are different each time.
I have customized Norton to permit all access form limewire in my Norton Program Control.
I have a wall in front of my Globe on Limewire if that is relevant.
Do I need to have my Windows Firewall on aswell.
Please help.

I never got these alerts with 4.10 and I haven't changed any Firewall settings since then. The wall was infront of the globe with 4.10:confused:

I'm not sure, but try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) & also delete your previous Norton settings & reset the configurations of them whilst this version is on your computer.

Yeah, that happened to me, too. There's a mysterious file named _ that has the virus.

What did you do to fix it?

I just uninstalled it cause you can't delete the file.

Lord of the Rings

I can't find a Preferences folder in the .limewire file

Did Limewire work ok when you reinstalled it?

See NorbiesWorld (click on link) & register there & he will help you to solve the problems. ie: eradicate the virii & get your system back to normal. He is offline at present but register there & follow his directions carefully & he will give you accurate directions.

If you can't find a folder called .limewire then see step 3 in those directions & look for limewire in the "hidden" folder called Application Data

Nope, did the exact same thing. LimeWire might need to fix it.

Do you use anyother P2P programs?

I can, just don't know any others.

I am having the same problem!! Glad someone else is too.
Not sure how to fix it though?

I'm having the same problem too. If anyone finds a answer please post it.:(

That's an old Norton bug. Go into the controls for Norton and completely delete
the rules for Limewire then allow access again when Norton pops up.

Thanks Aaron for the advice. I have a copy of Norton 06 so I uninstalled 05 put the new one in and reinstalled Limewire and it is fine now, fingers crossed!

That didn't help me. I'm running Norton AV 2005. Norton keeps poping up. Everything was fine with Limewire 4.10. When I upgraded to Limewire 4.12.3 the trouble began.:(

You sure it's just Norton? I use BitDefender and did the same thing. But for some reason, I reinstalled LimeWire and the file just disappeared.

I tried reinstalling Limewire 4.12.3 and I still have the same problem.:(
