zapshares----need help---lost limewire library

Hi painter345 and :welcomegnut:. So what your saying is, by using this software, your LW library has been deleted?? Check your HDD to see if the files are still there. If not, I wouldn't recommend this program to anyone.
Sounds like a new tactic used by the MAFIAA.

Zapshare is owned by same person who operates Peermatrix & PeerSentry, yes those same programs that spam the network with junk files in your search results.

Zapshare is an anti-file-sharing utility that is both adware & spyware combined. It also prevents your sharing of files. As can be seen from the 3 links above, most of what the company advertises at their site is either highly inaccurate or lies, combined with the propaganda of safe file sharing to grab your attention. They are obviously out to mislead you & everyone else. ;)

kill em with extreme prejudice...

ZapShares - works great for me!

zapshares----need help---lost limewire library

I found ZapShares after reading a review on CNet's download.com and have been running it for a few weeks now. No problems here and it works great for me! The library files are there as always and everything functions just as promised...completed downloads are stopped from being shared...with ALL the programs I use...not just LimeWire but uTorrent as well...

The logic behind the program seems to be to automatically remove downloaded files from being shared...makes sense to me based on what I know...if the RIAA does a search and find you're not sharing files...they can't sue you and can kiss your a**...seems to work great!

One of my friends was one of the guys that the RIAA went after last year...he settled out of court but I saw first hand the hassle the guy had to go through...**** the movie industry/music industry and their lawsuits/harassment!

Personally, I'd rather not need a program like this, but thanks to the **** movie/music industry...I'm just glad someone thought of it... :)

How easily mislead some people are. :rolleyes: Facts are facts, as noted in my previous post. A number of articles have been written & discussed about the company that owns Zapshares. If you were duped by this software's advertising, well that's your issue, but I would not recommend this software to other people.

And check Remoc's post above, this person's shares were deleted by ZapShare. What a nice little program it is (deleting your own files without your knowledge!) :rolleyes:

I would suggest everyone stay as many miles away from it as possible. It is not to be trusted. Especially when the company that made it is directly/indirectly involved with sponsorship from the RIAA.

I was using an older version of the software which DISABLED the library (yes, this was mentioned in the help file and during the installation process), which is why Remoc must have thought his files were deleted. The files were still there but just not listed in the library.

HOWEVER, the new version I installed a few weeks ago works even better. The library function works perfectly as normal...the company says they've upgraded the protection while offering full library support...so all files are now listed in the library as usual...works perfectly just as promised...

I guess the company could be associated with the RIAA (they seem well funded...positive review on CNet's download.com ... and have even been mentioned in the Washington Post)...but who knows...

All I know is that I'm not taking any chances...call me greedy...I know I'm not sharing any files now that I'm running ZapShares, but I figure let someone else take the risks...1 ad for 1 download...I can download all I want...not have to worry...works for me...I'm a happy camper...and the RIAA/MPAA and kiss my a**! :)

Your right!! I'm not stupid enough to use the program, so why would I waste my time reading about it.

Avatar999...If you would have read the thread, you would have realized that this wasn't my problem. The OP was Painter345. :blink:

Finally Avaay, Your not making much of a splash here on the forums, Letting members know that your a Leech and proud of it. Doesn't go over well with people that share.

You seem to be nothing more than a MAFIAA troll. :whistling:

Good Luck :cheesy: and how is Canada this time of year?? LOL

ZapShares is a Canadian company. Oh what a coincidence avatar999 lol :rofl:

Have you ever sought such assistance in that area yet?

The idea of P2P software is sharing.
Many P2P communities rate your sharing ratios, giving connective priority to those who DO share.
(Taking without sharing is typically viewed as “leaching”.)

A P2P user ALREADY HAS CONTROL of what is shared, without the advertising-subsidized, malware-assisted add-on service.
I haven’t seen too many P2P softwares that don’t offer this control. ...

Leech software. Interesting. Not to mention the lack of copyright file sharing of course. Reminds me a lot of The Story: Shareaza, iMesh, RIAA, and Recent Events.

I am ashamed that a Canadian is pulling this scam. Even going to US congress with the fabricated crap and scare tactic.

The American users have every right to be Canada bashing now.

/me hangs head in shame. ...
No Trest. The FACT is that you are selling off people. Selling off these fake security apps to put your real focus, peersentry crap, onto people and f'**ing their communications.

With what we see in that patent filing, you are the same as an ID fraudster.

Ultimate parasite

What makes you think the file sharers in question – those concerned with getting “inadvertently” (as you say) nailed downloading the wrong file – would trust connecting to your networks, knowing you propose not only enabling the advertisers, but possibly serving up the users to groups like the RIAA.

You’re obviously a parasite.

Dare I say more. I think this about finishes this topic. :)

My apologies Remoc! Sorry about that! You're right...Painter345 was the one that didn't read the instructions...

As for being a leech...like I said, let someone else take the risks...look at it this way...people decades ago use to build bridges...and many lost their lives in accidents falling off the bridge during the construction...yet as soon as the bridge was built...and to this day...we still use those bridges...

So I'm letting someone else build the bridge for me (share the files) and just using the bridge (downloading)...no dif if you ask me...lol If others want to build the bridge and I want to use it...all the power to me I think!

Anyway, LOTR is right...I think there's been enough said about the topic! lol
