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.

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. |

 Trojan Horse... Just downloaded a couple of mp3's through limewire... had the checkbox enabled to automatically add to iTunes... about 5 minutes later finder curser started spinning then everything from the desktop dissapeared, and everythhing in my home folder... all gone. Is this the Mp3 that mp3 trojan? Tried everything, I'm not a newbie and have been doing allot of research for a cause. Doesn't seemed to have affected anything outside my user folder, but as you can imagine, lost my mail, fonts, photos, mp3's etc.... Anyone else experience this?  |

 Ouch No, and I searched for that mp3 trojan before, but it didn't exist except as a benign proof-of-concept. If someone has modified and distributed it as malicious, then the latest security patches should have prevented what you describe. The other situation I have read of that could done this involves some external firewire drives, but those have been fixed by a firmware update quite a while ago. Sorry to hear of your troubles: PM the names of the files you tried and I'll see if I can reproduce the situation on a different home folder. LW 4.0.6 Pro on G3 running a fully updated Panther 10.3.4 here. |

| The MP3 "trojan" relies on Resource Forks and LimeWire (and all other Gnutella clients I know of) can neither read nor write Resource Forks. An attempt to share (download/upload) a file with a Resource Fork will end up in an incomplete - i.e. "destroyed" file - which is good in this case. Therefore the file must be encoded in a special format like .sit which preserves Resource Forks and you must decode it yourself because LimeWire knows nothing about file encoding formats. Well, and finally you must double-click the decoded file yourself because it's a Finder bug. LimeWire doesn't deal with the Finder to add files to iTunes... http://spam.weblogsinc.com/entry/4585038725182359/ |

| true btw, DaKidd, who came up with the idea also thought it could be adapted to exploit mp3's through iTunes with no/minimal user intervention. Quote:

| Well needless to say it did happen as i described, I was working in Photoshop and Dreamweaver and had Limwire on in the background only downloading 3 mp3 files... when 2 of the downloads where complete (a third one was finishing) the beachball showed up ( I was trying to access the music in my shared folder but it wouldn't let me into the HD cause of the activity) and then when I accessed my home folder not only was everything gone in there but so was everything on my desktop... I have also noticed all my sound settings are gone as well as in I have no more sound, very weird. Never have come across this and the only thing I was doing out of the ordinary was using limewire. I did have the checkbox in LW selected to auto add to itunes, and itunes sometimes will start playing these automatically BTW! So at this point I thought I could get away with just putting on the stuff that was erased ( i keep backups) but seems like there is more to this... missing my sound being one of them.. I'm slowly finding other things it touched like my mail and FTP (which of course all the settings are in my Home folder). On the other hand I do have a Firewire drive hooked up all the time to this machine, is this similar to the FW problem you mentioned? Let me know, for now I'm sterring clear of LW on this user account, but I wanted to gives everyone a heads up if it does indeed turn out to indeed be a malicious LW thing. Thanks for your responses! |
