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. |

 Bearshare Pro new update with W32.licum alerts? Hi, did any of you also find yourBearshare Pro /Norton Antivirus alerts saying that there was a W32.licum worm stopped? I ...against my better judgement decided to go ahead and install the (auto) downloaded update I did NOT ask for. B-4 doing so...I complained to Bearshare Pro that I did not like them forcing a download on me. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/newthr...ad&forumid=70# http://www.gnutellaforums.com/newthr...ad&forumid=70# I was probably a little more concerned than usual because of this...so I searched their so called help forum to see if there was anyone screaming of problems with the new update. Nothing noted...so I carefully installed the update on my dime...doing all the things a good PC user does...turn off all programs Except Antivirus and Firewall and spybot, Spyguard, etc. LOL Immediately upon restarting Bearshare Pro...I got the alerts you mentioned...And since I had indeed the intention to download files I went ahead and said OK...still more and more alerts...while checking my antivirus settings for Bearshare I got a w32.licum worm event...and well you can figure the rest. I did the appropriate things while cussing and then spent a few nights locking firewall anytime I was not in front of screen. Did the reading...then email to Bearshare. This was 3/6/2006. They emailed back...said there was a response at said link to their forum...but said link shows no questions or answers for my incident. Well this problem with thier "forum" has gone on and on...and well I finally got another email tonight...and they simply sent me a link to a Bearshare Pro Installer. Nothing to indicate that they actually understood my concern...nothing to indicate this was a known problem or nothing. SOOOO I have spent a few hours searching for anyone complaining of this same problem. It took some time but I see that I am not alone. My security is pretty tight here...my only risky behaviour is the occasional night downloading some music video's. I watch closely the size of the files...and since music videos are usually 35+ I don't see problems with viruses/worms. Now IF there is someway someone is able to put a worm into a music video?? I'm not one to just go complain...I do the searchs and reading first to see if there is an answer out there and usually I find it and solve problems on my own...but all I found is some folks complaing about the "beta" or new update crashing their computers. This is not the problem here...or maybe it would have been had I left the program up to run. Once I uninstalled the new update...ran a good check of security/ports/Dcom settings, etc...I reinstalled my OLD version and all is well so far...however I have not let it run for long since I just am being extra careful just in case there was a serious problem with the guys running Bearshare. Any info you have concerning this is appreciated. Like I told Bearshare....I have done alot of beta testing these last 15+ years...but I did so with a clear knowledge that I was running a beta program and paid close attention to what interacted with what. But I DO NOT want to Beta test Bearshare Pro cause access to a good forum/database is no longer supported. Hope this little description helps others looking for same problems.  |

 ;] It looks like a false positive by Norton. They don't make that mistake very often. Regarding recent versions of BearShare: Sticky: BearShare has been sabotaged. |

 re: HUMMM, not sure what to think about that info. Now why in the world wouldn't Bearshare Pro's tech support not tell me that they thought it was a false positive? Instead I have spent alot of time obsessing about how in the world a worm got past my defenses. As you mentioned...it is rare for Nortons to give a false positve. I have been using Norton products for 15+ years and this is the first. So I'm off to see the wizard....LOL Thanks for the info...but still going to obsess about this till I am sure there is almost no holes for a worm to get thru. |
