Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

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.

Hmmmm not sure some programs allow you to do a custom or advanced installation for only the items you want. I run NIS 2004

You know what 'thin ice' is ???
You are NOW skating on it !
If you are asking for assistance re: acquiring a bent or illegal password or keygen, you are in the WRONG as far as these Gnutella Forums are concerned. Read the Rules, OK ?

WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost certainly, whatever s'ware came bundled with your machine is not going to be adequate for even minimal protection today ! The best thing you could do for yourself would be to completely remove (correctly) the bundled crap.

Forget about installing any component of the normal bundled garbage !

Install Norton Internet Security (including anti-virus and anti-spam and, and, and, and....)

PAY for it. *
It is one of the only 4 programs about which I would use the big bad 'pay' word !

When you have done that, do the same with Adaware SE and Adwatch SE !!!

Then, DRIVE your machine with no 'auto-pilots' running !
YOU are in charge.

You WILL BE protected.

*A problem with your post is that in one instance it seems that you have paid for an anti-virus, etc., etc. application and in other ways you appear to be asking for a "crack" or 'keygen' for the same app. !!!

If.... IF......... On the other hand, you HAVE purchased the full Norton Internet Security program....

You don't need nuthin' more than Adaware !

Last.... I am sure that I am not the only one here who DOES applaud your efforts to be 'protected'... If you are, it helps all the rest of us, what ???

Default Norton AntiSpam

If you have purchased Norton Internet Security 2005, as you say, then you are entitled to support from Symantec.

As far as I understand, you are entitled under your licensing agreement to install the AntiSpam portion of NIS2005 on any other computer you own.

Therefore, for support questions you should go back to Symantec or search their knowledge base.

Any other course of action, such as using unapproved serial numbers, could invalidate your license and render your application unusable.



UK Bob

PS. Ursula is quite correct when she says you should install all the product and not portions of it, the internet is so dangerous that you need all the protection you can get. Protection against spam and viruses is not enough, you will need anti-spyware, firewall (which you have as part of NIS), anti-secret installation (Prevx Home V2.0) and possibly an app/port monitor to check which apps are accessing (or secretly trying to access) the internet.

If you "google" "adaware" and "spybot" you should come up with some good results and download sites. Without the quotaion marks of course.
