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.

Default AVG Anti-Rootkit (Beta)

Limbabnees

Following on from Mickjapa108 advice, you could try AVG Anti-Rootkit (Beta). As you can see, it's still in beta but it is free and, since I have used it several times, can vouch that it is safe.

The URL is: http://www.grisoft.com/doc/21/us/crp/0

Found nothing with those programs.
Did Panda Activescan and only SDFix.exe.
Well the only tootkit is SDFix.exe, but that i knew. It's in a backup directory.

I had some help from dutch forum and i had to do Hijack for him.

Why do i still have problems with Limewire.
Only possible to download nasy things, all normal files are not possible to download.
If try to download Sygate.zip he put it in status bar: "Wait" 1 second later: "Delete"

It looks like something is controle my system.
Even with install Ad-Aware & CCleaner. Not Possible, if wanna install all go good till a certen point. after 5 % of install it's just stop and disappear.

Have some one maybe answers on this. It's now a week i have those problems

Limbabnees.

Looks like big trouble.

If i try to download one of these (tried all) it brings me too an error site.
Can't find server.
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:AZO45B2WM4Q46KYXC6N3VPX3LH2QHT GW&dn=Martin%20-%20Get%20It%20Right.mp3&xs=http://magnetmix.com:6346/uri-res/N2R?urn:sha1:AZO45B2WM4Q46KYXC6N3VPX3LH2QHTGW

Is this correct?

I downloaded Sygate.zip
This is what i find in my download map!!!

Sygate Personal Firewall Full v5 6 3408 rar.zip - ZIP archive, unpacked size 210.432 bytes

If try to unpack it NOD32 get Alert
Win32/TrojanDropper.VB.NAI trojan, lucky for me i download on D-Drive

Hmmm, seems someone do some ad things on my PC

And if look in overview who's connecting to me i fins very strange names, 4blocks.

This is what i see in whatever i selecting for downloading.
T-77562-URGENT LIMEWIRE UPDATE-download AND install now.exe

Very bad files only to find.

If i put in a name from a band or singer, nothing comes out. Only bad files.
I even tried with Elvis, who dont know him
If i wanna download the file (only zips & exe, there are no mp3 visible) from Elvis, it already excist.

Well im not good at finding hacker tools, and my software and even hijack wont find anything.

Think i block Limewire in sygate, maybe it does something i not see

If you keep trying to follow the path that you are taking it's only going to get worse. It's never a good idea to try & download programs such as Sygate from Limewire. They are almost always bundled with viruses that will cause problems on your computer. You should follow the advice mickjapa108 gave you above & go & have your computer checked by experts at one of the forums listed.

If you aren't up to doing that, at least run an in-depth scan with NOD32.

BTW: You can get Sygate for free here:

Yes i have the free version, i was just checking the posiblilities for downloading. Thats why i saw all those strange things.

Btw, all checks are negative. Even NOD32 Deep scan.
HijackThis found nothing.

Come from dutch forum and *Kingpin* (Moderator) advised me to let check my system over here.
