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.

dude!! dont' reformat. I bet there's a way to delete the thing. Can you do some google searches? I'd repost this on all the gnutella forums with a more descriptive header eg. "How do I delete this porn dialer? Please help." If all else fails I bet you can even email the german site and ask them how to delete the program.

The possibility, that this has to do with limewire is small. I can think of two ways, how you got this system hijacker on your computer.
The first is, you may have downloaded and viewed a .exe, .doc, .rtf, .vbs or similar file through a filesharer. If it was this, you cannot blame anyone but yourself.
The second is a website, that exploits vulnerabilities in Internet explorer (ActiveX, Jscript->ActiveX and so on) to edit your registry and run code on your computer. On the lavasoft forum there is a thread about such a site, that behaves similar to what you described and uses a misspelled name of a popular domain, to trap surfers by a typo. Removing this can be tricky, but people can help you, if you post more technical details about it.

Clear your IE cache, deleting offline content too. Go to Symantic and run their online virusscan.

Talking no, reformat!

No, no, reformat!

And then install a proper operating system and some proper software.

God I get sick of this lame 'oh windows is so vulnerable to viruses' crap. Microsoft don't fix it because they get so much media publicity from it, d*ck. What else could get them on the 6 o'clock news three times a year? That's a multi-million dollar timeslot.

Amen! Try Mandrake 8.2 for a Windows alternative.

Angry Remove German Porn Dialer

I can't knock Limewire because I love the website creator softwares I've gotten from Limewire. I just pity Limewire for the potential customers they lose due to the problem of these porn dialers attached to MANY downloads here. Most folks don't know how to get rid of the dialers, and the word is getting around to avoid Limewire because of these porn dialers. Steve196, these dialers are being picked up in other ways, but they are being attached to Limewire downloads as well. What an easy way for them to trick folks into huge phone bills as well as to pick up new sicko customers! Most folks can't get the dialer out of their system, and don't realize they are dialing everytime they accidently activate it while trying to close it!

Unfortunately, these dialers aren't a virus...so they're not detected by your antivirus software. They aren't a typical program...so you can't use your uninstall utility to find and remove them. And Steve196...it IS coming from SOME Limewire downloads. I've picked it up ONLY when downloading from Limewire.

This is how I've gotten rid of it on my system...first of all, the minute I see it loading, I do NOT click the "X" to close it...this just activates more things to pop up. I click in the left corner and choose "close". I right-click the dialer's icon and view the properties in order to see where the heck it's tucked into my puter. I scroll my program files for it...it's always been found by digging this way~~~~~>My Computer, Programs, WINNT, Dialers. If I've tried to hi-lite and delete the dialer in the program files, it won't do allow me to delete it. I drag the whole danged dialer file to the recycle bin. I look for any icons the program installed on my desktop and in my startup menu, right-click and delete the icons. Then, I empty my recycle bin. Lastly, I go into my Tools, Internet Options, Content, Certificates, and click on each tab of each type of certificates. I look for any certificate with names/words which appeared in the properties description of the dialer. I delete these certificates. These certificates basically give the dialer permission to reload into your system. Get them out! Finally, I change the security settings for the items which allow scripts to run on my computer to "prompt". (If you disable them, you can't navigate many websites...if you set these to "prompt" when one is running...well...you start to recognize that when you click on a link, you know a script should run and to click "ok" to the prompt, but if the prompt appears for no reason, you know something is trying to run on its own...click "NO". Usually removing the certificate is enough to finally kill the stupid dialer off. I don't find that I need to leave the security settings on prompt. The prompts can make you nutty if you surf the web alot, and I haven't needed them once I discovered removing the certificates.

I'm no whiz...I can't tell you too much in the line of explaining why...but this has gotten the darned dialer out of there. I ONLY pick that dialer up when I download some software at Limewire...and no, it's NOT adult software.

Default Remove German Porn Dialer

Oh...forgot...empty your temporary files and cookies~~~~>Tools...Internet Options...delete cookies...delete files...delete history (if you don't want to delete all your history, just hi-lite the links in the history list and delete them). Be sure you empty your trash! I know dif OS's use dif. terminology & menus...but you get the idea.

Default Remove German Porn Dialer

And no, I didn't download any obvious exe, etc. files. I downloaded only zips...scanned for viruses before opening. So what do you recommend? I've had many successful downloads without viruses or dialers and such. Had one backdoor virus...that's it. When the antivirus picked up on the backdoor virus, I opened Limewire's shared folder and deleted the software download without opening it. Lately it seems many of my Limewire attempts have the dialer attached.
