LimeWire Disables Automatic Updates
 

Hi, when i install LimeWire my Norton Antivirus icon changes from a Check mark to an X. When i click it to see whats wrong with it it tells me that Automatic updates are disabled and when i go to automatic updates under the control panel it will not let me turn auto updates back on.. i have been without LimeWire for a month and want it back. How can i prevent auto updates from turning off? please help.

Maybe try making Limewire an exeption in Norton, that may fix it...

HI SuTTon.

Sounds like a virus....
Check your system using any of these programs (I reckon using all of them):
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/(free)

http://www.grisoft.com (good free AVG)
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5 AVG Anti Spyware<< free 30 day trial -the best in my opinion)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download/(free)

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

You can also read here point 4 in the post of LOTR....:

If you still cant clear it
go to one of the Free computer Help sites listed here, They really know what there doing. register and post in there
forum, They will instruct you to D/L & run software that can be trusted,
Not all sites are Genuine, These three are recommended by US & tekies.
