Yo as i tell everyone who computer crashes who usually have LW on their computer ... get rid of it! ... It not safe , from experience i can tell you that... You may think your computer is safe but limewire loads and open your internet ports at start up and it usually goes undetected by most fire walls ...

My only advice is do with out it and Peer to Peer programs like this

When you uninstall it to prove my point Type (msconfig ) in your Run Bar Start > Run ....Go to the Start Up Tab and you will see all the programs that start up when you boot up your PC .... You can uncheck it if you like and you can uncheck programs you not sure about in the same list ...***Make sure you set a restore point before you uncheck anything*** Start > All Programs > Accessories >System Tools > Restore point


If you dont wanna delete the Limewire then my advice is Dual Boot (Install another OS ) on your harddrive

[Appletondon]

Yeah I dont want to delete it not sure how to dual boot but Im always careful wit what I d/l from Limewire havent had any issues with it other than the slowness plus i make sure i do virus scan at least once a week just thought their might be a way to maybe tweak da settings to get da comp to run a lil faster while its open but i guess ill just have to deal wit it , thanx 4 da info though

dual boot i think he means creating partition to have two os in ONE hardrive. ONe for Limewire and the one for your regular things

There is nothing wrong with LW. It is as safe as you make yourself just like any file sharing program. Yes LW runs on Java, but the only reason it is java based is so that it can be used on any OS platform that supports Java (ie: win, mac, linux, etc.)

LW starts running slowly is when being run on older model computers.


Some initial questions:

What version of LW are you running?
What OS are you running? RAM ROM?
Do you have the full version of LW or are you just using the basic (trial)?
When LW is running what is its system priority?
Do you have a firewall?
Do you have an AV?

[Appletondon]

Limewire runs fine but it slows down everything else on my computer(internet,apps,wmp,etc.)

[Mr. Marcus ™]

What version of LW are you running?
What OS are you running? RAM ROM?

[Appletondon]

Limewire-5.1.4
O.S.-Windows Vista
RAM-1.00 GB
Processor Speed-1.80 GHz


Dont see da ROM

@ Crooked I don't think the pc has anything to do with it well maybe his

i have a dual core 3.1 Ghz
3 gb of memory

with Xp and was still making everything else slower

it's not something to kill but youd o notice it slow everything else down i would say the coding was really poorly built

I think THATS the point hes' trying to make
