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.

Default Old Free Software

Guys

Something to remember, some old free software are not as "free" as they claim to be because they contained adware/spyware and back then protective apps writers did not consider "adware/spyware" to be dangerous or needed any kind of attention.

Now, however, anything that is not part of your O/S or a legitimate software installation is considered to be malware and therefore potentially dangerous.

"Caution Norton Antivirus 2009 Says Virus and removes it"

by jcherry46 on December 9, 2008

Pros: None Didnt get to Test it.

Cons: Caution: Norton Antivirus removes it saying its a Virus Downloader.

Summary: Use Caution.
Quote:
e test all software products submitted to us against a comprehensive set of criteria. In addition to screening for common viruses and spyware, we also look for other threats that might interfere with our users' security, privacy, and control. We consider publisher Web sites, publisher conduct, and our own experience with a particular product.
Viruses, spyware, and malware

We will not list software that contains viruses, Trojan horses, malicious adware, spyware, or other potentially harmful components. We will not list products known to contain such items in instances outside CNET Downloads, and we may disallow products from publishers our editors feel violate the spirit of this policy.

The following are types of software we will not accept:

* Software that installs viruses, Trojan horses, malicious adware, spyware, or other malware at any point during or after installation.
o Software that installs the above items via links to other software or Web sites.
o Links on publishers' Web sites that may enable the installation of the above items.
* Software that installs without notice and the user's consent.
* Software that serves intrusive advertisements through a Web browser, a pop-up window, or Web sites outside the software's primary interface.
* Software that includes or uses surreptitious data collection.
* Software that collects and transmits information about end users or end users' computer usage without adequate prior notification.
* Software that diverts or modifies end users' default browsers, search-engine home pages, providers, security, or privacy-protection settings.
* Software that interferes with users' control and privacy.

EULA and installation prompts

All products in our library must present users with a clear and easy-to-read license agreement, and provide users with an opportunity to cancel the installation if they do not agree to the terms. End-user license agreements are a contract with the user, and in keeping with that spirit they must be truthful, accurate, comprehensive, and easy to read and understand.

Following are types of software we will not accept:

* Software that installs in a concealed manner or denies users an opportunity to read the license agreement and/or to knowingly consent to the installation.
* Software that induces installation by making false or misleading claims about the software or the software publisher.
* Software with license agreements that do not clearly or adequately disclose critical information about the software or additional items included with the installation.

Software bundling

Any additional programs or third-party items included with the downloadable file must be clearly disclosed in the CNET Downloads product description and during the installation process. Users must be given a way to opt out of all additional items during installation, or they must be given an opportunity to cancel the installation completely.

We will not accept software that exhibits any of the following:

* Additional programs or third-party items that are not clearly disclosed in the CNET Downloads product description, end-user license agreement, or installation screens.
* The inability for users to opt out of or cancel the installation of additional items included with the installation.
* Icons or shortcuts placed on a user's desktop without adequate prior disclosure or permission.

Advertising-supported software

We allow certain types of advertising-supported software, including a small number of adware components we evaluate on a case-by-case basis. Ad-serving behavior must be restricted to the program's actual user interface, and may not include pop-ups or other forms of intrusive advertising.

* Software that serves intrusive advertisements through a Web browser, a pop-up window, or Web sites outside the software's primary interface.
* Software that includes bundled adware considered harmful, malicious, or intrusive.

Removal and uninstallation

We respect the user's right to control software that is installed on their computers, and we require that all software in our library provide users with a clear and simple method for removal. We may disallow products we feel are unnecessarily difficult to uninstall, are obscured, or are resistant to removal.

Following are types of software we will not accept:

* Software that prevents its own uninstallation or disablement.
* Software that requires users to give up personal information to uninstall.
* Software that cannot be properly or safely removed due to errors or other programming issues.

btw anyone now brothersoft is a good mirror

any more there's only a few sites i trust for freeware filehippo, Windows Sysinternals: Documentation, downloads and additional resources , MajorGeeks.com - Download Freeware and Shareware Computer Utilities. i have got some programs through cnet but in sceptical i might just back out guess you cant be too careful if you do your banking on line or purchase things online although i try not to be too paranoid as long as it doesn't slow my comp down or show up as malicious.

Some of those virus signature databases aren't all that great. Last time I did an online scan using Panda and Trendmicro, they both found more than 10 "harmful" files. I knew each and everyone of them and they're clean as a whistle. I admit they were all what could be considered hacktools, keygens etc. but none of them would do anything malicious on any computer.

4.13.4 used to appear as malware on some antiviruses. We got word from Ask that they were talking to antivirus companies. After 4.13.4 we've updated their toolbar to lots of newer versions and they no longer should appear as a threat under any antivirus. If this happens it's usually Ask's duty to talk to the AV company to remove their software from the malware list.
