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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

It could be a virus. There are viruses on the network that will do that. Check out this link part 4(a): WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Good luck

Well Jas

You will find that you are still infected and that Norton AV on it's own cannot quite kill off this problem on it's own because, I believe, anytime you go online you will be re-infected again. This is caused by a hidden program on your PC which monitors the (health of the) virus so that if it gets killed off it sends for another virus to replace it.

You will have to check your HD for new folders and delete them but do this offline, also I believe that there may be a hidden folder called C:\Update, or something similar, find and delete this folder.

I would also suggest that you check your AV scanner, make sure it is working properly, and update your virus definitions. You may not know this but some viruses can attack Norton AV and either disable it or make themselves invisible to the AV's scanner.

So, to summerise:

Delete virus created files and folders, especially the hidden ones.

Check, update and run your AV again.

Finally, never, ever go on the P2P network without your AV enabled.

Right now you have some hard work to do in order to make your PC virus free.

Good Luck.




UK Bob

PS. You might want to invest in a firewall, this will stop stuff coming and going from your PC without your permission.

Ouchies. My comp runs AVG, Microsoft Beta, AdAware and Spybot and they seem to do the trick. Though if you don't have them, your obviously going to have to get on the net to get them, once again taking you back to square one. If all else fails, invest in a spare hard drive and reboot, pain in the butt but did it myself awhile ago on a non related matter and saved me a lot of heartbreak and frustration.
As UKBobby said, check out which folders and files have been created lately, make sure you have 'show all hidden files/folders' tabbed on.

Sounds to me like your Limewire got like it got corrupt. You may have to uninstall it and start fresh. and rename the folders that you dontwant shared so LW wont recognize them again. you picked up something from Gnutella. Unistall LW quickly, deleted all the leftover folders, move your downloads to another folder, rename it, reboot your computer, scan and defrag your system, then, start fresh.
