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.

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. 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.

Well safe to say norton dont do SH*T what a waste of money ( $250 AUD!!!! ) So my computer is in the shop should be fixed sometime today well can only hope might be another reason why LW was playing up . I have NEVER got virus from LW BUT some torrents i have got ( GAMES ) have had virus but norton picked them up . Anyone see the news??? Bout the illegal Downloads? THEY think they can stop us ( LW , Utorrent , and other p2p users ) what they say will happen is if your found to be downloading 'illegal' music/movies you will get a letter in the mail 3 of them and they will kill your internet connection!! SO THEY THINK! Any way i dont think it will work .....

Facebook, do you know how many Viruses that website supports? Nearly EVERY advertisement leads to an attack/scam site, it get's me angry.

Well a Anti Virus can only do so much, the rest is left to human awareness and common sense on what not to d'load, PRO Anti virus or not, you can still catch one.

haha that made me laugh, it really did. Do you know how many people download illegally? HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. They;re going to cut off that many people's internet. This is will lead to a GORILLA RIOT, and i WILL be there. Lol.

I strongly recommend Avira Antivir, it has very low memory usage and the interface is sweet: Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir

Default Sharing Your Computer with the kids

marcusj

Being a Father myself, I do know where you are coming from because 2 or 3 years ago I suffered the same fate as you , i.e. one of my kids downloaded a virus/trojan onto my PC and Norton AV did not spot it.

And likewise, I had to have a complete reformat and re-install done but I also took the opportunity to do some upgrade work as well.

Anyway, the only way to insure that your PC remains virus free is to buy your kids their own PC. And since my lads got their own PCs my machine has been virus free (and as a precaution, I changed the password on it so they couldn't use it behind my back).

So, if and when you can, you should have a PC for you and the wife and one for the kids.

You know, there is no such thing as a (virus free) "family" computer.

Well i came across something very interesting the other day.
There are these "Kiddy browsers", basically web browsers just for children. Nearly everysite is blocked unless YOU, the password holder, unlock it.
It was a very useful tool for my little sister, but to be honest the interface is WAY to funky.
I think it's for kids around the age of about 6-9 years. Very Disney-Channely

I was given a copy of KASPERSKY INTERNET SECURITY 2009 by one of my friends now i have got heaps of games for the kids on an external HDD now i scaned that HDD with norton and it was clean but yesterday i scaned it with that kaspersky and it found 2 virus in the gameS it fixed them and game still works ......
YES I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE BACKED UP MY STUFF ON THE EXTERNAL HDD..... I HAVE LEARNT MY LEASON
And if the kids want something downloaded they have to ask me and i do it that way if anything go wrong its not the kids fault and stops fights too i hate fighting with the kids ...
