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.

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. |

 Frostwire Rules Limeware Drools Frostwire is honorable and honest,something Limewire is not. Limewire claims not to spy on users. NOT! Limewire oneline AND offline installers both install adware"limewire". When the adware is removed Limewire immediatly uninstalls itself. LMAO. Frostwire on the otherhand has no spyware or tracking cookies associated with the installer. Also Frostwire automatically halts corrupted file downloads, something that Limewire has yet to figure out.  |

 I don't know what LW version you are using, but as a high end LW user and member of FW team, the things you say about LW are 100% false. I approve your choice of FW... but LW is as good for now as well (until they filter unlicenced files, that is) Ciao

 What I said in my post is 100% accurate et voila. LW does insert the adware "limewire" in the offline and online installer program. I installed the latest version from Limewire.com the OFFICIAL site. I installed it about 4 times. Each time I ran my anti-spyware scanners(Adaware Personal SE and Yahoo anti-spy) the adware "limewire" popped up. Each time I deleted the adware "limewire", LW automatically uninstalled except for the stub installer in the programs folder. Conversely Frostwire was run through the same routine as LW and no adware whatsoever was detected. Hence, I stand by my post. Why would I lie about it? Check it out et voila! Follow the same routine, use the same scanners. If you come up with a different result I will gladly retract my statements about LW. |

| LimeWire does not contain anything of that sort. I myself know this as a fact, I have seen the code myself. I am also a developer for FrostWire so I can attest to that fact since I work with the codebase frequently. If your Spyware/Adware detects this in LimeWire but not FrostWire, then I can assume that your "Yahoo Anti-Spy" or whatever is not correctly identifing malware. One reason you may see LimeWire being detected but not FrostWire: Some (bad or crappy) Spyware/Adware detection programs assume any program that sets the "magnet:" protocol in your registry is Spyware/Adaware and will associate any program the protocol links to with it. The reason FrostWire is not detected (i assume by Yahoo! Anti-Spy) is because *I* have not enabled the magnet protocol support in FrostWire (because I have not found a way to correctly enable support for it yet). And once I do enable it, Yahoo! Anti-Spy will probably detect FrostWire ALSO as containing Adware/Spyware. Yahoo! Anti-Spy (i assume) WRONGLY detects the magnet protocol as being associated with Adware/Spyware/Malware. My personal advice: Drop Yahoo! Anti-Spy immediately as it gives out false positives that are not reliable. The only Adware/Spyware detect I trust and use is Ad-Aware SE personal. Its the only program you will need to detect such things. And it rarely ever has false positives. They also correctly identify such things and do not wrongly associate the magnet protocol. Once again, LimeWire nor FrostWire contain any Adware, Spyware, Malware, Viruses, Trojans or any bundle software. Regards, ultracross (aka alkalineX) FrostWire Developer |

| Frostwire rules, Limewire drools Thanx for the heads up! I stand corrected.And I will folow your advice. Am discontinueing use of the SBC/Yahoo anti-spyware as of now and will use the ADAWARE Personal SE from now on. But I still prefer Frostwire over Limewire as it is easier to use and more reliable. The following are the progams i use for security: ADAWARE PERSONAL SE,COMPUTER ASSOCIATES ANTI-VIRUS,THE CLEANER PRO,FOXIE(firewall that sits low on the kernel and is not detected by MS XP as a firewall), and SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY. In your opinion is this a sufficient security setup? I ask as a computer newbie and internet novice(I've only had a computer since July '05) |

| IMO, the best setup would be to use a hardware NAT router as your firewall; Anti-Virus such as AVG or Avast. And a Spyware/Adware detector such as Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE Personal My personal advice is to not use multiple programs that perform the same function. (And some do not even do that very well.) But the ones i just recommended all have good credibility and should be all you will ever need. (Be sure to keep them up-to-date too.  ) |

| I would add that the most important investment is to continually educate yourself about the threats that exist and keep abreast of the preventative measures there are available. If you are filesharing on XP, so much the more so. There are numerous resources at your disposal. |
