I hope that now you realise that LW or Gnuttella didn't scam you the site that you went to did.

It seemed that you got hi-jacked away from the LW site and then taken to the scam site, unfortunately this has happened to other novice users before and will continue to happen as long as users fail to take action to keep their PCs safe.

You got hi-jacked because something got secretly downloaded to your PC while you were on the internet, and from what Limewirer wrote, it seems that this download attacked your PC's "Host" file and overwrote it with the scam site's URL. In other words your PC has been compromised possibly because you have failed to install any protective software.

As you are probably a novice, you will have to get someone to help you clean up your machine and additionally advice you how to protect your PC in furure from this sort of attack.
