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. |

| That's caused by a virus. Try the fix in this thread: To fix the limewire keeps popping up / no taskmanager bug do the following AVG(free) might be able to fix it. Be sure to update it before you scan your computer: AVG Free Advisor: AVG Anti-Virus Free More virus info in this thread: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

| Hey 6_pac... Do you know if this will also fix the problem of my Limewire Library always opening with a ton of folders I didn't download? I'm also new to Limewire and am trying to figure things out. Thanks! |

| Try scanning your computer with AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. Make sure you update it before scanning. Try birdy's advice in this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...some-info.html

| Problem with launching When I try to start up Limewire it closes as soon as it starts loading old downloads during startup.Anyone have any idea why?I have tried opening the port,I am using McAfee security suite and have given the program full access.The problem just started two days ago and I haven't changed any settings,so I am not sure what the problem is.I even removed my Java and reinstalled it to see if it was corrupted.I would be most grateful for any help anyone could send my way. |

| Try deleting LW's preference folder with LW completely shut down. Instructions in this thread points 2 & 3(check both locations): Fixes for Limewire(try the other fixes too). This will reset all your option settings, so make a note of them first(if you can). http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html Also try uninstalling and deleting all versions of java from your Add or Remove Programs Control Panel. Then d/load and install Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12, use the offline installer.

| NOT a virus I disagree that this is a virus as I have exactly the same annoying problem and it happened because I upgraded from 3.... to 4.... Everything was absolutely fine before I upgraded and I have tried to find an older version but can't. I have run several virus scans with McAfee and it hasn't found anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both LimeWire and Java, I have updated my PC, anti-virus, Java, everything but NOTHING has helped. I don't want to use Kazaa as they do put spyware on your machine even though they claim they don't. Please help, what's going on??? |

| is it a virus?? Quote:
there are also these strange files that keep appearing in one of my folders. there's a zip file called "a" and an application called "service.exe". everyday i try to delete these files and the next day, they just keep coming back. this problem started happening around the time when my limewire started doing that popping up thing so i'm guessing the two problems might be related. my trend micro scanner deletes all of the viruses it finds but the limewire problem still persists. just today i downloded the newest version of limewire but all of these problems still exist. i tried downloading the brute force uninstall as suggested on one of the other threads but trend micro said that there might be spyware so i was afriad to download BFU. i really don't know what to do now. everyone seems to have the same problem and nothing has worked yet. ANY NEW SUGGESTIONS? |
