My computer will not let me download stuff..?

First of all I am trying to download Limewire, and everytime I click the link to dowload it,it pops up for 1 secound and dissapears. Also-I have a windows XP and everytime I try to go and change my firewall settings it also pops up for a second and goes crazy! Whats wrong with it and how do I fix it?My computer will not let me download stuff..?Have you tried a re-boot?My computer will not let me download stuff..?Spyware, Malware and Adware can do crazy things.



Clear your temporary internet files, cookies, etc, and reset the web settings. Then download Ad-Aware and Spybot. They both will find things the other left.



Also, trendmicro.com has a program called Housecall, this will allow you to scan for viruses for FREE. I would run that too.



And make sure you have all updates on your computer and try and remove any programs you don't use / are unsure of what they are by using Add/Remove Programs in the control panel.



Limewire and all those other programs are nothing but a pain unless you take the time to read everything and try not to install all their 'extras'. But limewire will install spyware no matter what, that's why it's free.



Use bittorrent.My computer will not let me download stuff..?Security software like Norton, Virus protection, and pop up blocker can do that you will need to turn off any of these that is running on your computer.
