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.

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. |

 Limewire scandal Big news this year was the LimeWire privacy scandal caused by an investment firm employee. By using LimeWire in a careless manner on company computers, he exposed the company to a major security breach. This security breach caused controversy and compromised company data. The most tangible effect leaving this “window” to the internet open while he downloaded files off of LimeWire was the loss of over 2,000 personal records form the company. By allowing the company computers to be open for viewing he made clients and corporate identity theft possible. Names, addresses, investment information, bank accounts, social security numbers and more were all right there for the picking. Among the 2,000 unlucky enough to be victims of the theft was United States Supreme Court Justice Steven G. Breyer. The confidential files were left open to theft for a whopping six months. Read Full Story! (TechBlorge)

| I haven't used LW in a long time, so the following may be out of date... if LW still prompts a user if they want to let it (LW) browse their HDD for files, then IMHO LW is partly at fault...that is the most stupid/criminal/lamer aspect of the installer (or perhaps was)... now if said user on their own decided to share the C: drive then he/she is at fault... my bet says its the installer...yeah, the user in the end was ignorant, but still...I've always had an issue with that part of the installer....of course the LW devs don't think much of me (nor do I of them) so its no surprise they ignored my comments in the past on this subject...

 Hiya, bluiz1955, and welcome... Now the bad stuff.. Yup... It was a con... A scam site... Might not believe this but, no matter what country you are in it is wise to report every detail to INTERPOL... Yes, INTERPOL. Sorry for you, really. I'm with Peerless here (and on a lot of other points, as well) that Limewire should simply be avoided. If one really must have Limewire for some obscure, and probably inexcusable reason, then it is best to simply D/L a free copy from OldVersion... The link is in my sig below... There is absolutely no rational reason to be concerned about acquiring a 'legal' copy of Limewire Pro... Ha Ha Ha... There is nothing special about it. Peerless' comments and mine may seem a little strange coming from mods here but we have all had it re: LW... It is simply insufficient, insupportable rubbish by any of today's standards. Phex or the 'special' 5.x.x series of BearShare that is mentioned within these forums is the way to go for Gnutella Network ops. Remember that the Torrent community and the Gnutella Network Community are still very much of a symbiotic relationship... Some things are better with one 'system' and other things are better with the 'other'. The idea is to always feed/seed BOTH ! Again, sorry you were shafted, but take minor comfort in the fact that you are one of an emormous number of people who have had the same dreadful experience... Big deal, eh... Doesn't really help ! Try Phex ! Hey, the actual developers are HERE and AVAILABLE !!!!!!! Price is right, also ! Zip.

| Now, about this here "investment firm"... Balls Total Balls. Peerless and I have got stuff installed, updated and always running that would make the above mentioned 'tale' an impossibility on our machines. We are nothing special. We are not 'doing' anything special. But, we are 'doing' 24/7 the simple basics. This "investment firm" mentioned... Who was providing their 'security' ? EDS or similar scum ? For how many 100s of 1,000s per contract ? Who established basic admin rights - user rights - sharing rights ? Jeeeez, a quick scan of these Gnutella Forums would provide more than ample protection by simply applying the basics as recommended here by numerous posters. I cannot help but think that this is just another garbage urban-legend tale. Unfortunately, I also have absolutely no probs with believing that every word of it is true !!! LOL I ran Malwarebytes on a "friend's" machine only 2 days ago... This 'friend' is actually 'the man' and he works counter to child porn junk (plus other standard human foibles) in the country where I live... He's "large", as they say, in his biz... Removed over 800 really bad-boogie apps that were embedded in his WORK PORTABLE. He needed a jaw-bra ! He especially had a good chuckle over the more than 60 keyloggers discovered. Gave him a copy to install in 'the office'... waiting to hear the results ! It really is simply unbelievable how bullsh*t the whole so-called computer security biz actually is... Well, no, it's not unbelievable... Back to the 'investment firm tale'... As sweet as it may be to have something else to 'blame' on Limewire, I just cannot see it... Nothing to do with them when it comes to the real-world level of properly specified, installed and maintained commercial networks... Especially those that are extremely 'sensitive'... At the absolute minimum, it should have been completely impossible for ANY employee to even access the internet... Downloading and... AND installing apps should have been 100% impossible... Not only impossible but with bells, whistles, Monty Python 16 ton weights falling upon and... and... Meaning INSTANT alerts to admin personnel that somebody somehow managed to hack security and do something amazingly stupid. As I said... It's urban-legend or Dumfukistan über alles......... hmmm... Thinking about it, it's probably the latter.  |
