In short no. For limeware to work you have to tell the firewall to let it access your computer. this allows the program to access your PC through a port. If you have given permission for limeware to access through the firewall then anything that comes in on the limeware stream good and bad will be permitted into your computer. I suggest you run an anti virus program as well as the fire wall but even this combination will not guarentee that your PC stays free of viruses and other malicious programs. If you are using limeware or anyother insecure program to exchange files over the internet then you cannot be completely safe from the little nasties that live and breed in cyberspace.
you will have a firewall protecting it from connecting
you DON'T ! NEVER unlock your firewall,SPECIALLY that spyrot,limewire and kazaa and others like it. ----hey if youre going to download music but limewire is getting blocked by a firewall, LISTEN TO ME. download FrostWire. It's by the same people but its SOOOO much faster and it has better router configuration, i have never been blocked with frostwire but limewire ALWAYS messed me up.
I have a firewall and can still access limewire, it just wont let me download some songs as apparently they contain viruses. It may differ depending on your firewall operator. dont worry though as there is a lot of songs you can download with the firewall, aswell as a few you cant.
Is it your PC's firewall or NORTON firewall ? You may have more than one firewall installed on your PC
Yes.
Go into your firewall and choose to allow the program
At the top of the LimeWire screen, click on the word "Help" and then on "Using LimeWire". ANSWER: IT'S ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The purpose behind an email firewall is to protect your account from malicious attacks. Firewalls help keep your information safe and private as well.
If LimeWire is not connecting the advice from LimeWIre is: 1. Delete all versions of LimeWire, and delete your preferences directory (/Users/username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire). Delete the "install limewire" receipt from the "Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts" folder. 2. Delete all LimeWire aliases and installers from your desktop and Dock. 3. Restart your computer. 4. Redownload LimeWire You may also need to configure your Firewall settings to allow LimeWire to connect through the Firewall.
Yes, if you get caught using LimeWire you can get in lots of trouble. LimeWire says that it isn't illegal but it's not true. :(
Using Limewire is not illegal. Limewire is a P2P file sharing utility. If you share files which are copyrighted and without a licence or permission then that is illegal.
I read that it could be due to a Firewall blocking access.
