Every few seconds, Limewire tries to open and sends an error message.  Now pop-ups are coming up constantly and when I try to access a site like MSN, a pop up will take its place.  I dont know what to do to fix it!  I already uninstalled LimeWire and don't know what else to do.  Please Help.

delete all cookies, and temporary internet files. after that go to www.trendmicro.com and go under free tools and it'll do a scan of your computer to catch all of that. if it doesn't work try restoring it to an earlier point before limewire. then get ares.

You can try un-installing then re-installing LimeWire. Or you can go for BearShare

Chance's are, you're pop-up blocker is on. Open up your internet options, and click on the tab that says privacy. On the bottom will be a section that says pop-up block. Make sure the little box isn't selected, or "X-ed". Try again. Maybe also you have a toolbar that isn't letting a pop-up occur. Download.com utilizes a pop-up. Make sure you have no pop-up protection whilst trying to download something from there.

Make sure its the download link for a Mac http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download/version.php\nAnd NO, the Limewire Program is not filled with spyware and Viruses...It's some of the files You download that will have them...so Always, always, always scan evertything you download...I've been using Limewire for over a Year with no viruses, trojans, etc...but my virus scans after downloading some files have caught them before they were installed on my computer...just make sure your security's in place before using it...common sense...

I am not realy sure what you really mean by "stopped working".\nIs it that it doesn't start or it doesn't search?\n\nAnyways, I will try to go through both...\n\n- The program doesn't start:\nLimeWire is based on Java (not JavaScript but Java)\nJava is a FREE Runtime from Sun Microsystems o enable the running of programs created by Java Programming Languages...without them, the program won't work.\n\nIf you had the program working before, and now it stopped, then maybe Java Runtime was uninstalled.\nYou can get Java Rutime from here:\nhttp://java.com/en/download/index.jsp\n\n- The program doesn't search/download:\nThis could be because you are running Windows XP SP2 or higher, and have your firewall application as Windows Firewall.\nAlso, your default firewall application, if not Microsoft Firewall, could have the application blocked.\n\nI found something strange when installing LimeWire to answer this question, that LimeWire disabled my Windows Firewall andwas not added to the exceptions list.\nSo, maybe your firewall application was re-enabled, and don't have LimeWire in the exceptions list to work/function over the internet.\n\nTo solve this problem, try the following:\n- Open LimeWire;\n- Open Tools menu then choose Options;\n- On the left side of the screen that showed up is a side menu, double-click on "Advanced" to show a submenu below it;\n- Click on "Firewall Config";\n- Copy the number written next to the "Listen on Port:" label;\n- Make sure that "Use UPnP (Recommended) is checked;\n- Close this screen and minimize LimeWire.\n\nWindows Firewall Solution (if no third party firewall is installed):\n- Open Control Panel [found in Start Menu];\n- Open Windows Firewall;\n- If prompted that the Firewall is not active, choose to enable it;\n- Once enabled, click on the "Exceptions" tab;\n- Click on the "Add Program..." button;\n- Scroll down until you find LimeWire, click on it then click "OK";\n- Click "OK" again to exit Windows Firewall;\n- Restart LimeWire - in some cases, prefared to restart the PC.\n\nFor third party firewall:\n- Open your default Firewall application;\n- Check the blocked applications/ports lists;\n- Make sure that neither Limewire, nor the port number you copied from LimeWire Fireall Config are on the blocked list;\n- Restart LimeWire, if it doesn't work, then try restarting Windows.\n\nIf LimeWire still doesn't work, then:\n- Uninstall it;\n- Open RegEdit from start menu => Run => regedit\n- Hit the F3 button to start searching the registry;\n- Set your search keyword to be LimeWire;\n- Delete all the LimeWire keys you find;\n- To go to the next key after deleting one [using the Delete Key on teh Keyboard], hit the F3 button again to continue searching for the next key;\n- After deleting all keys, open your LimeWire setup location and delete the LimeWire folder\n[normally located in "C:&#92;Program Files" -- delete the Limewire folder]\n- Restart Windows, then reinstall LimeWire.\n\nHope it does work again without any trouble...\n\nIf it doesn't work, then I would recommend you to use Shareaza\nhttp://www.shareaza.com/\n\nIt connects to Gnutella1, Gnutella2, and eDonkey servers for download.\n\nAlthough it may need a little annoying configuration on the start to make it download from these three servers, but I think its one of the best P2P applications.\n\nGood Luck\n\n####### Edit #######\nAVAST\nIts not a firewall\nIt contains something called Network Shield\nWhat this does is that it monitors your ports and prevents viruses from accessing your computer through them, but it doesn't block ports...\n\n\nZoneAlram is a FireWall application, but can't help you with its configurationas I tend to use the default Windows FireWall...\n\n##################

OK, chances are you have music match jukebox. it seems to cause that problem fairly often. i had the same problem and searched the heck out of it, since i was afraid it was malware. it's not, but in the vast majority of cases it's related to music match. i uninstalled it...... problem went away. i used to love the program but it's grown too bloated and buggy. if it's not music match, you've most likely made a few changes or added software. you can uninstall and reinstall and see if that helps. but rest assured it's not a security risk. it's almost always music match  or AOL, the two don't seem to get along. i included a link below.

I have been using Limewire. I haven't had any problems with it. Downloading songs are ok.  I also use Ares without problems. This program places the songs in categories, where you can edit it and move it to the categories u desire. I did try Bear Share and hated it. To me it went slower on my computer to download.  It caused pop ups I believe, but I am not sure.

May be you have a pop up blocker turned on. No to sure. Ad some details.

This problem occurs because Microsoft thinks that any attempt from a website to essentially "download" files onto your computer is a threat. This message is essentially like an integrated pop-up blocker but in my experience it usually ends up blocking what I need to access to download a form of an update. What you need to do in order to get around it is click on the yellow bar and let IE know that it's ok to download and install the ActiveX controls from this site. Or get a better browser like Firefox. =)

uninstall your current version version of limewire, don't forget to exit it on your system tray as well , and then re-install , they have a newer version. That should do it!

try downloading adaware- that usually will find that as a potentially harmful program. also you can use search under the start menu and type in limewire and anything that is found delete.
