Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Wink File won't delete!
O.k. I followed all the steps given for deleting the bug (my file name was winupdates as well). Thanks so much for posting the instructions on deleting the stupid virus! Saved my computer! But i'm still having a little problem because there is one file in my registry editor that will not delete. The file name is just (Default) it is a REG_SZ file type and it says the data value is not set. When i hit delete it says unable to delete all specified values. Any ideas?? Thanks

I believe this virus is a little file that you can download by mistake that is around 800 kb in size. I was searching for things and i downloaded a file of that size. There were like 50 of them, all the same exact size with different file names. I downloaded one thinking it was legitimate but it just had a short movie of a girl dancing in front of her webcam. Then all of a sudden all this stuff occured. I'm assuming this movie and the virus are connected. By the way, NONE of the file names everyone listed here are in my task manager's process tab. I only got to page 6 so far though so maybe I'm mistaken, but I know its the same virus because I had the same exact problem as the topic creator.

Oh, by the way, sorry for the doublepost but yeah, I'm using that one guy's fix where you rename your limewire folder and download Windows Anti Spyware or whatever the name was. I don't care if it slows down my computer a little, I'm used to it, and I can live with not having the task manager come up with Ctrl + Alt + Delete. So far limewire has not popped up again, but of course the Task Manager doesn't come up. But since I have it on my desktop I can get it when I need it. But this virus ticked me off and I will take great pleasure in dismembering it piece by piece myself. I hope the limewire staff purges this virus from the searches forever.

this is what the message looks like:
Go to program files, Press L untill you get to Limewire and just delete the folder. Thats how I fixed it for myself.

LW's media player can sometimes have that problem if LW is very busy downlding, etc. So what you can do is go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Player & uncheck the option to use LW's media player. I'm not sure if you need to restart LW, but after that your default audio player will play them instead.

BTW this thread topic is about viruses. Your topic is different. But the thread title does seem to justify your posting here.

Who said anything about config. I said to go see Norbie because he is an expert at helping people eliminate viruses & get their system back in order thereafter. There's no one answer to all virus problems.

(Like a lot of people I made the mistake of having Norton on my comp. Fat lot of good that did me.)

I strongly suggest Ewido Security Suite. It saved my life - if not my sanity, because two days of running nearly non-stop virus scans will turn anyone batty.

you think you got it bad, i hit NINETY THOUSAND!
all were in some volume thingy. idk what they were but deleting them sure fixed everything. this program rocks!~ thanks grandpa

PROBLEM: the limewire virus corrupted my system so badly that it hangs / freezes every minute and it destroyed my firewall as well. volume control is disabled and internet access is forbidden..limewire keeps popping up and advertistments are getting on my nerves.

SOLUTION: My advice would be to uninstall limewire completely and delete any files with associations to limewire, then download trial files of ewido anti-spyware or etrust antivirus program and do a complete system scan. delete any files that are infected. i did that and i went to http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk and now everything's fixed! it feels so nice to see all the firewalls, updates and virus protection turned on at your security centre (: if you're experiencing the same problem, sign up at norbiesworld and go to "free computer help" =D

REFERENCE: http://www.norbiesworld.co.uk/Forums...326.html#18326 this is where i posted my help message, feel free to view as reference!! =)

lime6, glad that you went to Norbie, he's good

I'd have to say that prevention is better than cure though... everybody should make sure that they have a good AV program (no excuse not to as there are very reliable free ones!), keep it updated and scan downloaded files before opening!!!!
