Dont upload this, took 4 days to sort out, and had to format! I think i found a bug? i am not sure but please be aware of the nanny mcphee scotto ! i downloaded it and my computer went mad, i couldnt get on to internet explorer it kept saying page could not be displayed? and i couldnt del file too, had to re-format windows to get rid of it, i tried to update windows it wouldnt do it? i tried to reinstall internet explorer but it wouldnt do it, and it took 4 attempts to format the hard drive too. it may not be of interest on this page but i just thought i should warn you. |
I dont know what that is but Im guessing its not a bug but a virus. I suggest you use a anti virus program while downloading, wrongly named files can contain viruses/trojans and worms too and please refrain from posting titles. I suggest you scan your system with a good AV from now on or, you'll be reformatting everytime you get a virus. and becarefull what you download, pirated software contains the MOST viruses. thats why these items are free to dl from Gnutella because they are usually infested. good luck. |
i do have a good av, i have avg but it said it was ok, it wasnt a virus i do know that, all i know is it knocked out all internet explorer! sorry for posting title i just wanted to warn others about it, as it does say its a video file but its not some how ? i only had to format due to the fact that i couldnt update explorer or anything to do with trying to get it right, i baught my lime wire i am not on the free one, i paid for pro from your site 3 days ago because of all the bugs i was uploading and not knowing about them till it was too late. thanks for your help |
Maybe I should have asked you the obvious question? WHERE did you get Limewire Pro? Because the ONLY place to get it is at this URL: www.limewire.com and it ONLY costs 18.88 in US dollars and the REAL Pro IS NOT buggy, nor would it harm your computer. I just wanted to clerify that. If you go t any other website to buy it you will have been scammed/conned and paid for a fake/hacked version of Limewire Pro. |
Yep there's scam sites that offer hacked versions of LW that may have spyware, adware, virii, etc. See WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! or just make you pay & they give you links to the Basic version which is free from the official site: Membership? - **WARNING ** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites |
yes i got it from limewire.com it was $18.88, and it gives me a recipit, that i have here, i paid via paypal and on recipit it has made payment to lime wire llc. contact email coustomer@limewire.com ect with phone number on the bottom. so if its a bug free one how come i get bugs? have i set it up wrong? |
If you use the Resume/Find Sources function on all or too many of your files at one time then LW will definitely use up all of your computer's resources & probably also the net's bandwidth. Don't use this function if you can. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help: To continue files downlding (click on link) Even browsing host can help continue files ... to restart them downlding. Direct connect the same effect. |
i dont have a problem ul/dl from people? its fast enough into 30-50s. i do have a problem with people staying on line long enough though for me to get what i want..lol. i am after all the charmed at the moment season 2, but nobody comes on for me to dl from..lol |
Then there's no bug with your LW because if there was, you wouldnt be able to download. ;) |
lol. i know i dont have the bug now..lol.. like i said before i had to format to get rid of it. now the lime wire is good no problems at all. oh dear this is hard work trying to explain... |
I have watched this thread from a distance, and it's had me a bit confused too:):) Anyway, I'm glad everythings working, but please make sure you are always up to date with anti Spyware and virus checks. As for not being able to find things you want, unfortunately, you must just hope that someone out there has what you are looking for , AND is on line! A bit of patience pays off, as well as searching at different times of day, etc. |
Sounds like to me the file you downloaded was probably a adult video with a browser hijacker implanted in it. It is pretty common for adult video to have hijackers implanted in them. I do not know if you tried to reset you Internet explorer to default settings or not but allot of times that will cure the problem any you will not have to reformat. |
you name it i tried it? nothing worked at all, and i still dont know what it was to this day wat it was. i am good with computers i have built this one up from a shell, and the last one i had too, so i know a lot about them and how they work, but this whatever i had was a bad one, i have not seen anything that can knock out explorer and provent you from fixing it in any way, or even stop you from viewing web pages that could fix the problem like this one http://securityresponse.symantec.com...ools.list.html but it would let me view it then it wouldnt let me upload any tools that would have got rid of it. but now i am up and runing again i have put them all onto disk just in case it ever happens again as i lost a lot of my personal picks of my kids and my youngest when he was born as he was 3 months early and nearly didnt make it. so as you can see i was kind of annoyed at it all.. i have a very good anti virus and spyware blocker now, along with the best fire wall money can buy. and i have put in a seperate hard drive to store files on that i dont want to loose, so i hope i have covered all arias! i lost both my web sites that took me 4 months to build, and lots of other things that i could never replace, but thats what you get i guess when you dont think it will happen to you. all the best from debbie |
