A while ago I downloaded a little tool called silencer,
This is how it was described:

Silencer offers a different approach. It can be used if you would like to keep the adware product but not have it communicate. It disables communications between your adware and its "mother ship" by disabling the latter's URLs in your hosts cache by pointing them all to 127.0.0.1 (or any other IP). Please note that although you are justifiably upset that these stealth communications are going on in your computer, you might actually be in violation of your EULA if you disable them - so use it for educational or troubleshooting use only.
Works with: all (generic)
Note:
If you decide to remove the application later, you need to delete the file C:\Windows\hosts and reboot your machine. If you do not delete the HOSTS file, you will continue to block the servers that you added.

I haven't checked myself if it works but as soon as i done I let you know, unfortunally I can't seem to find the url that I got it from :confused:

Hmm .This ip adress seems to be odd the following resuts I got from the Ripe website search :

127.0.0.1

Perhaps a more tech skilled person can shine a light on this odd IP number ??

127.0.0.1 is your loopback address = your computer.

If you ping 127.0.0.1 (or any other 127.x.x.x) IP, you will ping your own computer only, no traffic will be routed to the internet.

Hope it helps, Moak

PS: The Silencer idea sound nice, if AdAware doesn't help.

HeHe so KathW is bugging himself ?

Perhaps you where running LW twice KathW ?
That's the only thing I can think off rightnow.

And about The silencer , as soon as I find the url I"ll post it here

Re: I know about 1 + 1 = 2
 

Hi Kath!

Keep this version or try the supernode alpha, this version is also free!

But please do not install 1.8...

HeHe sorry KathW , I indeed haven't heard of men that where named Kath, I did hoever hear of a boy called Sue....:D But you should ask Johnny Cash for the details

And speaking of cash (and related programmes)
I have tried the Wisenut search engine to track Silencer and found lot's of pages with a download link but the link's are all dead The Silencer Homepage still exists but I can't find a link to DL
I do have a copy myself so anyone interested can leave a message and adress to send to.

Hi Kath!

I thought lw is using the port 80 and not 6346...

6346 is the standard port for bearshare and a few other gnet clients...
