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.

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.

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.

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. |

 Wacky sounds on my computer Hi. I hope that someone can help me. I had Limewire and upgraded to Limewire Pro. I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem but out of nowhere all of the time, it sounds like an extreme sports channel is playing in the background no matter what I am on. I hear people talking about pranks and bmxing and I have no idea where this is coming from. I have McAfee and I done all of the scans that I could do, I have emptied my cookies and old files. I have a 8 year old daughter who is on the computer alot and whatever this is has cursing in it and I cannot get rid of it. My question is could I have downloaded a song from limewire that had a virus on it? Or where did this come from? And finally, how do I get rid of it? Also my computer is running slow and I have a lot of pop ups. PLEASE HELP!!!!!  |

| 1: just exactly where did you acquire your copy of LW 2: are you running a firewall (I don't consider the built in version with XP or Vista to be a firewall) 3: are you using PeerGuardian 2 while on the network you say you have McAfee, is that just the Anti Virus, or is it a full security suite with a firewall? if you have a legit copy of LW, and are running a firewall, but not using PG2 then that could be the root of your problem...i.e. the paid henchmen of the RIAA/MPAA, or just general known hackers, hacked you and added in a little something....PG2 has a rather large blocklist of IP addresses that have been identified as being 'bad people'...even when properly running it I've been knocked off the network because of the amount of traffic 'they' have directed at me (basically a DDOS)... and be honest, have you downloaded anything besides music? or perhaps have fallen prey to a 'needed codec' to play a file and actually downloaded and installed it? been surfing pron sites?.. the fact that McAfee doesn't find anything means squat...for one thing its certainly not the best, and also all AVs and firewalls are vulnerable, and no specific program catches everything... Google Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware, download them from their makers website (or an approved mirror), install them, and run them....maybe find an online free AV scanner from a different known company and try that.... now, from my experience the tracing down and removing of the problem may take a long time....longer than it would take to back up your data, reformat your drive, and do a clean install of the OS..possible far longer...i.e. it may be in your best interests to do the above and start over with a clean slate...

| Thanks. I am totally computer illiterate. I have no idea what you basically just said. So basically I am kind of screwed? I do not surf porn but maybe my husband does (hmmmm....) I know that the version of Limewire was legit but I do know that a couple of times when I tried to download a song and preview it, it stated that there was an error on the file and asked if I wanted to download anyway. I said no but could it have been too late? I believe that I do have a firewall on my windows and McAfee and before I had McAfee I had Norton. I don't know!!! What firewall is the best? |

| the error was most likely corruption and wouldn't do what you are describing.... as far as what's 'best'....well, that is many times in the eyes of the beholder...I would suggest Googling the subject and read various articles and make your own decision (i.e. I refuse to give any advice other than I use Kaspersky's security suite...I also used to use Norton products)

| Thank you! I just wanted to Thank you so much for your advice and taking the time out to help me. I did what you said to do. I downloaded the Kasperky Security Suite and in no time it detected that I has 14 Trojan Viruses and 6 other viruses!! Norton and McAfee were not able to find them and if it wasn't for you, I would have never found this! There are no more wacky noises and my computer is running much faster because of it! So again, you are a godsend and thank you!! Eternally Grateful, Kathleen |

| Ha Ha 99rellik. Yes, others have heard it. Now that I have this awesome secuirty, when I was on Frostwire last night, there were so many intrusion attemps. Most of them were Trojan so beware!! I know that all of you probably have a kick *** security system but it's worth mentioning. That's where I think this all started. God damn losers that create this **** because they have nothing better to do. Curse them all!!! |
