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.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... 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. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
Members 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. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

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

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.

Thumbs down LimeWire 8.0 broke McAfee VirusScan!

After installing LimeWire 8.0, which itself did not work on my Windows 2000 PC, my McAfee VirusScan no longer worked! I uninstalled LimeWire from the Control Panel and reinstalled McAfee. My McAfee still does not work! It worked fine before. Here is the message I see in the Event Viewer:

"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( AVSynMgr ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: AVSynMgr error: 126, VirusScan has been stopped due to a missing or outdated Avsynch.dll library. Please reinstall the product.."

As I said before, I did as the message suggested and reinstalled VirusScan, but still get the same error message. Apparently LimeWire 8.0 did something to my system which the uninstall did not clean up. How do I completely remove/undo all the changes LimeWire 8.0 made to my system? As you know, Virus protection is extremely important these days, so I would appreciate a quick and thorough response.

Aaron Sentell

Info about VirusScan:
VirusScan Build 5.12
Avsynch.dll is version 4.5.499
Avsynch.dll Build Date is 3/29/2000

Default Oops! I meant Limewire 1.8

In my first message, I said Limewire 8.0. I meant Limewire 1.8.

Please help!

McAfee support will not help me until I am sure Limewire is COMPLETELY off my system.

Hmm,

Adam yes Limewire don´t change something in the registry but the ads do...

@ unregistered

Did you install Gator and eZula?

If so deinstall Limewire... d/l ad-aware clean your harddisk... than reinstall Limewire without Gator and eZula...

http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0...0-7302674.html

works it now?

You must keep the cydoors because lw don´t work without them...

The best to avoid the ads is to purchase the PRO version!

Default Been there, done that

Adam,

Thanks for your response. I have already twice done as you suggested, but the problem is still there. I see no reason to believe that doing it again will provide different results.

All I know is my McAfee VirusScan was working before I installed Limewire 1.8, and now it doesn't work even after uninstalling Limewire 1.8. Is there ANYTHING that the uninstall might have left behind that I can manually take care of? What I find strange is that the avsynch.dll is installed as part of VirusScan under the VirusScan folder. What has LimeWire done to affect this? This library file is only located in that one folder.

Thanks,
Aaron

Post Please respond

I would very much like to get VirusScan, which I purchased and which was broken by Limewire 1.8, back up and running on my PC. I've tried Adam's recommendation multiple times but to no avail. Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Aaron

I would strongly recommend doing exactly what it says. You may have already done this, but I would try the following:

1) Close all programs
2) Uninstall McAffee from the Add/Remove Programs window if it appears there
3) Restart your computer
4) Reinstall McAffee
5) Maybe another restart just for good measure.
6) See if it works.

Good luck!

If your virus scanner doesn't happen to catch Limewire trying to install the Trojan you will probably end up with more entries for a Bargain Buddy program - which I have never seen before. I am already imaging all of the wonderful ways it will improve my life, though. All in all it's alot of registry entries, for a program that doesn't modify the registry.

Angry Still not working

OK, I've been extremely patient here, but I'm beginning to get a little frustrated. I downloaded LimeWire 1.8, and now my McAfee VirusScan will not load. I've completely uninstalled and re-installed it. I've gone into the registry and onto my hard drive and removed all occurrences I could find of McAfee and the "problem" dll. Still, when I re-install VirusScan from scratch, I get the exact same error.

My VirusScan broke immediately upon my installing LimeWire 1.8, so there is no other explanation for what is causing this problems on my system. I spent hard-earned money on McAfee VirusScan, and it is a critical part of my system protection strategy.

Your product broke my PC, so I feel it's at least partly your responsibility to help me resolve it.

Thank you,
Aaron

You'd think that if v1.8 really broke McAfee, there'd be a lot more folks screaming about it!
