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. |

 Looks like you have a Virus. It came with one of the files you downloaded recently (e.g. the one zip file you downloaded) or through other channels like eMail, Web or one of the countless security holes in Windows. It tries to replicate itself by creating files with attractive names so that thoughtless user download it from you and the game starts over... ... FIX: get an anti virus software |

I then open my shared folder and there is countless zip files all the sames size (400kb) of various software.... delete them but they keep appearing. During a virus scan now... any other suggestions? |

| @desperate Re: Norton  http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=38193 @Spitfire9494: A Firewall is NOT an Anti-Virus Software and will thus not protect your computer from this type of malicious software! Well, and trying to find and delete the infected files manually is a hopeless undertaking! |

| doing a restore will not remove the virus. I also have the unwanted and unknown downloads and it doesn't seem to affect my computer. of course my comp is almost 2 yrs old, so is slow by todays standards. what I guessed whats happening is that when u download someone elses file, all these other files are probably stored in the same place that the other user stored his zip file and it was automatically downloaded with the file you chose. I don't know...makes sence to me I've only been with limewire less than 6 months and have only downloaded one virus (and boy was it a doozy!!!) and don't seem to be having any problems with comp now, other than being slower than usual (which I can live with  )Unless it's causing you problems, I wouldn't worry about it. As for taking up space on your comp, unless you are short on memory (or whatever it is), I wouldn't trip on it. Also a lot of virus's downloaded, could be a false positive. |

| What you need to do is to eliminate the source file causing this. I found an unusaul file on my hard drive. It was titled TEMP, it too was a zip file with the exact same size of 400kb. Do a general serach on your computer for it and eliminate it, it should also be accompanied by an x + y text file, delete these too. At the same time delete ALL the files in your shared folder, i mean EVERYTHING!!! It only worked and dissapeared for me when i deleted all these files. Then empty out your recycle bin. This worked for me, not too sure if its the same for everyone else! |
