Bill Clinton Trojan-- LIMEWIRE FIX IT!!!

[khubla]

There has been a lot of user complaints to Limewire about a trojan site that uses a sleezy Bill Clinton-like voice to advertise their site (efreeware.com). This sleeze bag developed a program that copies your file reguest and displays a hit which is actually to their site. Limewire I paid good money for your Pro version and think it's time you did something about this. I sent you a email but no reply. You can ban the site plus block the file length (they are all the same). Can you believe, many idots actually downloaded the Trojan site and keep it on their computers!!! Please do something now.

umm LimeWire have no control over Gnutella net, even Gnutella itself have no control over the network, because those p2p network have no file, there is no data storage at all in Gnutella.

Im sure you ask how Gnutella got those files. it Peers. p2p mean Peers to Peers which mean you are connected to a stranger's computer to get the file, or get a hits.

here the map that will clearly explain



You see, you connected to G network then connect to peers (people computer). it like BitTorrent

Thanks for the reply, and I really don't want to belabor the question, but Limewire has a filter under Tools -> Options to filter whatever the user inputs in the way of title or name. Why not just add or allow file length? This certainly is a "can do" upgrade that resides on the user's computer and not the Limewire system. This would address the trojan problems and make a lot of people happy including me.

khubla. you put the question better this time

This thread is about as close as you will ever get to an explanation of the Limewire view on size filters, and lot's of us bang on about it incessantly.

FWIW I have just done a number of searches and have blocked several hosts who were sharing these little sods or similar. If they were sharing unknowingly, that's tough. Maybe if everybody starts blocking them the message will sink in, people will check there share folder and stop propagating the spread of these little buggers.
