Is that the exact message ?

Also please provide more details on setup

example here:

On that one Limewire is installed and just won't run properly, but you get the idea right ?

Also please include what kind of antivirus/spyware software you use, and how your firewall setup is like. It really seems like something is blocking Limewire.

Also are you logged in as an administrator or just a user with some privileges ?

The first thing I see here is that you are using two firewalls. Always use one, as they will most likely inhibit each other from working correctly.

Second WinAntivirus (Whos firewall you are using) is on Spyware Warriors Rogue Spywarelist

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm just press it and scroll down. It's in alphabetical order.

I would recommend that you uninstall it and clean your PC hopefully getting completely rid of it.

There are good alternatives here that are free:

I would recommend getting the Sygate firewall at least. Very user friendly and effective.

If you are looking for free antivirus as well then try

AVG Free

And for Antispyware

Ewido (free version is almost the full version and is updatable after the trial period is over)

Also please provide the other info I asked for. You did not answer all questions
