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. 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. 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. |

 Can you give a little bit more info to start with...did you try to download LimeWire & somehow end up with FrostWire? If this is what happened...where did you download LW/FW from? The only official LW site is www.limewire.com Or, do you have both LW & FW on your computer & when you try to open LW, FW opens instead?

| Downloading Frostwire Thank you Birdy, I thought I was downloading limewire, but I ended up with Frostwire and I cannot tell you how it happened, but I somehow had something called MP3-musicq.com asking for a subscription, which I thought was reasonable to get all this music to have to pay something for it, but the trouble is they are a bit tricky and have withdrawn more than they should. Watch out for them. Anyway, I am doing well with Frostwire, and getting on to this forum has given me an answer of how to transfer my music from Frostwire to Itunes. But what is the difference between Frostwire and !!!Limewire, are they the same company. Thank you very much, all a bit foreign to me. |

| Annabel, sorry to say it but you've been scammed. FW's free, just like basic LW. The official site for downloading LW is www.limewire.com The official site for downloading FW is http://www.frostwire.com You should contact your bank/CC company & report this straight away. If the scammers have already overcharged you, there's a chance that they could keep deducting payments. Your bank or CC company will be able to tell you whether you should cancel your card. If you paid for FrostWire you have been scammed, FrostWire is free Check the 2 links below for more info. Page 5 of the first thread has a list of scam sites. Membership? - **BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites (click on link) get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members) If I were you, I'd get rid of the version you have now...for all you know it could have spyware or adware included. Rather than keeping a scam version, download a clean version of whichever program you want from the official site only

| Thanks Thank you for your advice of which I have instantly taken on board. If spyware or adware was put onto my computer will it still be there even though I have uninstalled that version of frostwire and what do they do? I have reinstalled it via your official address thank you. Cheers |

| Spyware is software that secretly collects user information through someone's internet connection without their knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Adware will display banners and/or popups advertising products, while another program's running. You might not have any malware at all, but some scam versions of p2p apps do install this crap. You could always run these below to see what's on your computer. They're both good, free programs & I'd recommend them. Just remember to keep them updated. ad-ware __(FREE) Spybot - Search & Destroy __(FREE) Also make sure that you're using a good Anti_virus program. Keep it updated & scan all files that you download before opening them. There are heaps of infected files around & you do have to be really careful. There are lots of good stickies all over the different forum sections...check them out.

| More adware questions I am learing so much, and it is getting scarier by the minute. I clicked bravely on your connection, and yes it was free to find out that I have 175 of something not right, and now to correct them I have to pass over some money, and naturally I am a bit cautious about this sort of thing now. Can I truly trust this one? I have downloaded lots of songs, about 200, is this dangerous in itself. I have norton antivirous up to date. I appreciate your help, Cheers |

| No, you don't have to pay anything! They're both free. Maybe you clicked to download 'Ad-Aware SE Plus'...that one costs $. Ad-Aware: Click on that link in my last post, then click the 'home' tab on the Lavasoft page. In the top right corner you'll see an option to download Ad-Aware SE Personal...download that. I've been using it for ages. To update, click on the blue world icon. Spybot S&D: Click on the link in my last post & choose a mirror to download (try any one). To update, click on the blue world icon. I use them both. Just remember to update before doing a scan. The help options (you'll see it on both) have lots of info about how to use the programs.
