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. 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. |

 Thanks for the HU, but, PLEASE, remember... there are NO viruses on Limewire... Limewire is simply one of numerous p2p 'clients' that work within the Gnutella Network... The viruses that are out there are from US. US meaning normal users. Many 'normal users' do not know that they are sharing infected files. This is because they are, first, victims of the idiocy and arrogance of the client developers and, further, because they are trying to run a marathon before they can even fantasize about crawling. The above means that one should NEVER allow ANY sharing from the default DownLoads Folder... NEVER allow 'Partial Filesharing'... NEVER put any file into a Shared Folder until it has been checked for viruses, proper tagging and actually TESTED ! In simple words... If you do NOT know the quality of something, why should you share it with someone else ? And, if one does share without first really checking the quality, than there is absolutely no grounds for complaint, right ??? Those who share sh¡t are THE PROBLEM. Each and every one of us must use great discipline to be certain to NOT share sh¡t. It's easy if you care. Hey, BCOOL, the above isn't aimed AT you... Just saw the soap-box you carried out here to the field and thought I climb on !!! Ta ! p.s. As long as I am up here, on the box, could a request also be made to you fools that are sharing huge numbers of files to NEVER EVER be an Ultrapeer ? You are wrecking the network with such stupidity. You're also limiting your own p2p activities !

| Howz It 90hoursleep, I'm not sure what you downloaded.Here is a little information on Trojan.Downloader.WMA.Wimad.N. While accessing the ".wma" which is a media file extension the following behavior is noticed : 1. A browser page opens to a certain webpage ( fastmp3player.com ) 2. It tries to download and execute (when the user hits run on IE ) a malware from the mentioned site....... 1. This adware usually disguises itself as an "codec" for viewing or listening to media files. It states that without this product the user can't access the wanted file. A sample of this kind of strategy of spreading is explained here : Trojan.Downloader.WMA.Wimad.N 2. A window pops up while the user tries to access a certain kind of exploited media file with the title "Play Free MP3s" . It has a checkbox to validate the users choice of the products EULA to a company named "Media Holding Enterprises" . The user has the predefined choice ( the checkbox is already checked ) to install another adware : Adware.Mirar. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................. This is an disguised application meant to trick the user to download and execute a malware. Usually it states the false incapacity of your software configuration to view this kind of media. Due to the common misconception that malware or viruses are only in executables, the user could be lead to trust this strategy and install without his knowledge the downloaded threat. The file could be saved with different names of various celebrities, usually events or generally appealing things to users. This makes the malware spread with the help of users. First , the malware opens a browser window to fastmp3player.com where it gets a file , which is an installer signed with the name Adware.PlayMp3z.A ( a detailed description of this malware here : Adware.PlayMp3z.A ). The downloaded file is saved with the name "PLAY_MP3.exe" . I hope this helps you or anyone else that runs in to this Trojan  Last edited by BCOOL; May 22nd, 2008 at 02:32 AM. |

| Gotta love a soap box. May I have a turn?? It took me quite a while to undo "VUNDO" that I got through this "client" day one. I paid for PRO with my VISA on 05/07/08. I won't list all the hoops I had to jump through to get "clean" again but it included deleting everything and starting over....a couple a times. Now LIMEWIRE says my account has expired and wants me to pay AGAIN! Everyone that uses this computer has been given lessons on how to avoid a repeat performance....thank you URSULA for a concise and lucid description of how the virii/trojans/malware get spread around. I made both my kids read it. There's a special place in hell for writers of malicious code IMO. It keeps Bangalore busy for sure. Meanwile how do I dowload PRO again??? And yes it says LIMEWIRE LLC INTERNET NY on the transaction. |
