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.

Well to begin with you said you deleted the file. When you delete the file it does not uninstall LimeWire it just deletes a portion of it. You will have to reinstall it the go to add and remove programs and uninstall it.

2nd. I have a felling you may have deleted it because it kept starting up by itself all of the time . If this is the case you probably downloaded and opened a file 851.7kb in size which you found nothing in. Guess what if that is what happened there was something inside a virus that makes LimeWire start up by itself and creates 1000's of copies of itself.

If that is what happened the link below will help. If you can't get rid of it your self there is a link to Norbie's world in the link below, He will be able to help you get rid of it. And by the way this virus disables most anti virus apps so they will not detect it. And even if they do allot of them can not get rid of it.

Yeah, I think what you might have done is just deleted the files of the program...but that's not enough. First of all, if you want a program gone from your computer, you open your Control Panel, and open 'Add/Remove Programs'. You can open that and search for LimeWire and remove it or you can open Start, and then 'All Programs', and then search for LimeWire and click Uninstall.

You will have to reinstall it first. The uninstaller is located in the file you deleted.

Oh yes, this is very common.

You shouldn't have installed limewire in the first place, that's the problem.

Litanss

You should not post things you have not investigated and know nothing about. If you would have looked at the link you posted you would have noticed it says (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\cur rentversion\shareddlls\c:\program files\limewire\2.9.8) That would be version 2.9.8 which did contain adware. The addware was removed long ago. The current version of LimeWire is 4.11.0

If you would have searched your registry by going to Start/Run then typing in (regedit) into the box you would have seen none of those entries exist.

But since you did none of those things and have posted all over the forum about LimeWire being crap. You have done nothing but show how Little you know.

If you wish to keep on posting about LimeWire being spyware and how crappy it is go right ahead. You are very easy to prove wrong. It just shows your ineptness and all it will do is get you banned. If you had a problem of getting a virus or could not make LimeWire work properly you should have ask for help. But you didn't now you just look like a fool.
