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. |

 Limewirer MS Anti-Spyware doesn't give false positives anymore and it is good at finding keyloggers, a particular nasty piece of spyware. I have been using MS Anti-Spyware for nearly six months now and, to tell you the truth, I would not be without it. I use the following anti spyware apps: Ad-Aware SE - Good at finding tracking cookies, deleting MRUs and other nasties SpyBot - Finds stuff that Ad-Aware may miss, such as Winfixer and other spyware that may be installed with free apps. MS Anti-Spyware - Found NS Keylogger and other nasties missed by Ad-Aware and SpyBot. UK Bob  |

| i have just purchased lime wire pro today and everything that i have downloaded so far has had a virus attached to it, alcan some thing or other, i was under the impression that if i purchased pro i wouldn' t have this anymore, and why doesn't limewire scan its files before allowing them to post, as many other p2p's do? |

| Thur91 You said, talking about viruses: Quote:
It quite obvious that you think the files you are downloading are vetted and held by the LW org, well newbie Thur91 they are not. The files you download are held on PCs owned and used by hunderds of thousands of individuals just like you and I, not a central server or centrally owned server farm. Finally, the LW org can neither tell you, me or anyone else what we can hold and share on our PCs, they can advise us to use an AV app but they can't force us to. UK Bob |

| Obscene input I have an iMac and have downloaded plenty of Limewire music. Occasionally I get the President Clinton (voice!) about how to get" it 'for nothing. Today in trying to download some Charlotte Church recordings I got it three out of three times. Any chance there could be a blockage installed? Before downloading it shows the normal time, but after downloading, it shows the 27 second recording. It is a real pain as it takes time, and then you find you have this junk. The genre comes out as Top 40. Whoever it is should be hounded of the airwaves. Anyway I can block it? John |

| AV updates /scans Due to the fact that Norton AV fights with and attempts to shut down most other Anti Virus programs I suspect your suspicion's are correct |

It took me just 2 searches to filter out all basic auto-spam such as the ipod advert & the clinton digital voice file. All those files are the same size so easy to recognise. The virii are harder to filter out. That takes many, many more attempts using the spam filter. More about virii sizes to avoid see WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

 Some usefull Info Quote:
You can try to start up your PC in safe mode using only Command Promt (If I remember correctly holding down (F8 key) just after pressing the On button, you will be taken to a screen with some choices on it) Do not start Windows at all Then you can go to where the File/Folder is and delete manually (just remember that Command Promt does not have a thrash can, so anything deleted is gone forever) Since this is a securety related tread, it might be a good idea to tell you what I use to protect myself, and keep at optimum performance. I might be a bit overprotective, but I ran into a really nasty one a while back. Antivirus: Panda Internet Security Platinum I only use the Panda firewall included. Never use more than 1 firewall at a time Malware protection: Microsoft Antispyware (Beta 1) Free SpywareBlaster (from Javacool Software LLC) Free Ad-Aware SE Pro CCleaner (CrapCleaner) Free (also does a lot of good optimizing performance) Optimized performance with: Wintasks Pro Registry Mechanic Extra Protection: Peerguardian 2 Also I found a very interesting link while browsing the internet, might wanna check it out.
