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. |

| Sounds like something else has got into your computer along the way..I've never heard of the actual limewire installer having any Malware with it... Just to make sure you get all of the bugs off your computer once your scan is done, post at one of these sites, they will check and see if your system is completely clean...

| New computer, you say? And you havnt downloaded anything/much at all yet? Not even antivirus/anti spyware programs? Hmm... well, if you had left LW open and running all night, and you had an open internet conection all night, then its possible that your viruses may have not came from LW, but LW may have (or may have not, yet there still have been.... an open internet connection/port which someone/something had found a way into onto your PC, and downloaded malicious software (virii/spyware) onto your PC. A pc with an open internet connection, especially a port, with not protection is a disaster waiting to happen. You might want to check windows defender (or if you;re using mac, check it's defender program) and see if there is any open ports. You definatly want to choose the option of the defender being ON and blocking everything incoming- but go to exceptions, and allow such programs as limewire. Then, only those programs you allow will be allowed a connection to the internet. Like previously said, LW isnt known to download such stuff unless the version of LW you downloaded was from a fake site, and was infected (which it had to have been made so by someone, then put on the net on a fake site) But from what I read, it seems you have the real LW, and not infected. Ive had LW for a long time, and the only virii that have come to my PC from it were those attached to a file I intentionally downloaded off LW.... which fortunatly, both LW and my antivirus program picked up the virus and eliminated it. (limeiwre picks up .exe files that try to install as soon as they are downloaded, and asks you if you want to or not to allow it, warning you it may contain infections) So... yea- protect your PC. I suggest if you do plan on being on the internet and/or using downloading programs, that you use antivirus programs AND anti spyware programs! Be sure to check the links gievn. Have these programs enabled at all times, and, have the ones that can perform scans to do so daily- preferably while you are in bed. My pc runs such programs at like 1 am. Good luck. |
