Firewall blocking my program??!?

Question

When i open limewire i cannot connect to the internet, it shows its blocked by a firewall.

I checked my main firewall on my comp and although its on, i have limewire as an exception. Even if i turn it off it still says limewire is behind a firewall.

Limewire worked fine until yesterday afternoon. What other program could have a firewall thats blocking it?

I have avg for security on my comp but i dont see anything about a firewall so im guessing thats not the problem?

Im not too good with this stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.

( and no i didnt add any new programs lately that would cause it to be blocked by a firewall)

Answer 1

you can allow programs through a firewall in control panel

that might not change anything though

Answer 2

Uninstall and install again you limewire then Unblock Windows Firewall
