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.

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.

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. |

 Thanks for the reply Lord, good observation, but I wonder, 0 in uploads stop them from taking yours, but does 0 in downloads, won't that stop your downloading? I'll have to try...  |

| Thanks Thanks skyviper. I was doing it late at night and I guess I didn't read the whole thing through zzzzz...  Deleted those files you listed and everything back to normal. One thing worries me though is how it got through. When the original file d/led and I got the alarm from my Symantec a/v, I did all the right things but it still got through. The only thing I can think of is afterwards, I noticed I didn't have the 'scan in compressed files' box checked in the a/v software. Maybe that was it.A couple of observations that might be of use to someone are that: 1) Although I uninstalled limewire using Start>All Programs>limewire>uninstall, which ended with a 'successfully uninstalled' dialog, most if not all of the original files were still there (though lw didn't show up in Control Panel>Add/Remove Progs). Manually deleting the l/w directory produced a regular error dialog in place of re-running lw, meaning lw was finally off the system. 2)When I'd cleaned everything up and all seemed ok, I ran the security check on the Symantec site and all ports came up as stealthed, which suggests the back door is now closed. 3) winupdates was not part of the payload, so I suspect outlook.exe was the equivalent file in this instance. 4) It showed up on my system as Alcra C. Thanks for the advice folks, I'll keep this one tagged in case I can do the same. Good hunting Late addition: Just ran spydoctor and picked up the following reg entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version\run outlook=C:\Program Files\outlook\putlook.exe /auto Last edited by Nipper; February 17th, 2006 at 10:25 AM. |

| Okay, I've read though the pages and I don't think anyone has had the same problem as me. I followed through the steps and I don't think I have a virus. The CPU Usage is fine, there's no files being used more than the System Idle Process, and there are no files containing winudates, regedit or any of the others, but I did uninstall LimeWire. So...what do I do next. All the other steps are if you Ended the process of the virus file. You can contact me at Fryman058@aol.com. I don't get on here much I will check to see if myquestion has been answered as much as possible. Thank you. |
