So confused...(no search results, can't direct connect)

Hello my name is Nicole and I am very confused about Limewire. I type in what I want, and no results come up! I try to direct connect to someone, but it says I can't do that either. I have Norton Anti-virus, and am wondering if i should stop using that? Limeiwre just isn't working for me! I need major help.
