Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 Spy Ware Installed limewire when to my suprise norton tells me about a new trojan that has just been found on my computer. When i went and looked it up at the norton antivirus website it told me the file comes from spyware included in limewire and is installed even if you select no during setup. Id stick to morpheus if i was you, at least you'll be short the trouble of having to remove a trojan and will still get the songs you want.  |

 Spy Ware A Program Called Pest Patrol is a life saver when it comes to Spy Ware and Trojans. If you think Lime Wire has Trojans your right. If you think Lime Ware has Spy Ware your right. I ran my Pest Patrol and found 260 imbedded spy ware snitches and 14 Possible Trojans on the first try. I am Pissed Since I could not figure out where the fake e-mails were coming from. They were sending random e-mail with My Doom Worms attached from outside jerks . If I did not have the fix programs I would have been in trouble. To think "I PAID FOR MY LIME WIRE" Not I am taking legal action against them. Try the Pest Patrol and save yourself some trouble. ****Contrary to what the "SUPER MODERATOR" may say regarding Pest Patrol , Lime Wire Spies, and Possible Trojans, "In order to call the program designers for this Award Winning Program "Idiots" is ....rediculas. The program Lime Wire is KNOW TO INSTALL SPY WARE and the "Super Moderator is obviously "Pro Lime Wire", and giving opinions without substantiation. Beware of Lime Wire.

 LimeWire does not contain or install 'Trojans' on your machines. PestPatrol is garbage. It reports finding instances of 'adware/spyware' because the 'definitions' that it uses were written by lazy idiots... In the case of LimeWire specifically, PestPatrol is using definitions which report ALL LimeWire files. Hence, PestPatrol is garbage and you do yourselves no favours by using it. Norton did NOT find a 'Tojan' installed by LimeWire on your machine. If... IF you were to read information from Norton you would understand that not all reports of 'hostile' findings are necessarily accurate. Further, if you were to find a 'Trojan' in one of your LimeWire folders, that does NOT indicate that the 'Trojan' was installed BY LimeWire. I am not affiliated with LimeWire. I am not trying to upset or insult you. I AM TRYING to help you as it is clear that you need to become more familiar with certain aspects of using ANY applications that involve a connection with the internet. Again, my comments about PestPatrol are quite correct and are not ill-advised or misplaced. I would like to urge you to click on this link > Norton Security Response Virus Alerts and Definitions You will find very much excellent information there and links to even more.
