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. 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. |

| I'm no expert but ... I have had some troubles before and always managed to get out of it First burn every single file that you got of Limewire + anything from 1 week before you started having the problem to now to disk and then delete it (edit): Try looking through this tread and the links in it. It is something Lord Of The Rings has gathered from different tread. A lot of good links there. It may help you fix your problem even if your specific problem isn't listed there (I think) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39612 also look at the post below if you are wondering what programs might be good. I would suggest paying for "Registry Mechanic" though instead of a free registry cleaner. I find it a lot more effective. Also Kasperskys Antivirus is said to be very good. (and not too expensive). I Use Panda myself but I do not recommend it because of extensive CPU usage (good but slows your comp way down) MS (Formerly Giant) antispyware Beta is a pretty good free program as well or Ad-Aware SE (from Lavasoft) which finds some things MS Antispyware doesn't. (I think that Micro$oft has been bribed or something)  (end of edit) Disconnect from the internet and uninstall Limewire and Java Then search your PC for anything "lime" If you find anything, delete it. If Windows won't allow you to delete something, then keep a note of the filenames Run a antivirus program (and then a antispyware program) Use a registrycleaner to scan your registry and delete anything that you don't see as nessesary Restart your computer (if you were denied access to any files, then press and hold F8 and start only command promth (don't start windows) delete the files) Then type exit and start up normally If any files needed to be deleted in command promth then run your registry cleaner again to see if any new entries are picked up. If there are delete them too and restart again run another antivirus program and Antispyware If the computer is behaving normally now. You can reconnect to the internet and download java. Run a online scan. I recommend Trend Micro house call Do not install anything that you have burned to disk until you are sure that everything is back to normal, and wait a few days before you download limewire again to see If you are free of all nasties If it didn't help. then try this website. http://www.daniweb.com They help if you are really in trouble, but don't mention P2P sharing or LimeWire, as they tend to don't like people doing it. Read carefully how to post. You will need to run a program called "HighJack This" and post the results. You will get all the info you need on the site If Limewire is working now. You can slowly start adding the files that you burned to disk at a slow pace so that you will notice if you get infected again, because this is probably from a infected download If you have gotten infected through a download, then you need to read all the info on here about staying safe and not downloading viruses Last edited by Sleepless; February 12th, 2006 at 02:04 PM. |

| You should be able to remove it using add/remove program from the controlpanel in the start tab in the bottom left of the desktop For unremovable files you might try this tool first. Forgot to mention it in the post above Unlocker 1.7.9 For Command Promth actions read this (including the instructions below the commands. DEL DELTREE are the relevant ones, don't type anything and press enter there before you are sure that you understand For some reason it isn't included how you move about type CD (directoryname) and press enter to go to next directory type CD.. and press enter to go back one remember to type exit and press enter when you are done EasyDOS Commands If you don't have a registry cleaner allready. You can try this one. It's free. But I don't know if it's any good because I use one that I paid for RegCleaner This one is very good for anything but cleaning your registry. Temp folders and so on, just dont get to triggerhappy. This is a good tool to keep safe with after you are virusfree. dun't check the "delete old prefetch" box, when your computer is running fine, cause it will slow it down CCleaner hope this helped  Sure hope it did cause it took a while  Last edited by Sleepless; February 12th, 2006 at 10:07 AM. |
