Hi,

I am wearing asbestos pants so that you all may flame me.

This thread is splintered at best.

I would like to offer something for consideration that I heard a long time ago.

A great man once said, that the defination of a critic, is one who goes out into the battle field, after the war is over, and shoots the survivors.

Hi there. I'm the "unreg" that posted directly above you here. I almost apologised for helping to drag this thread off topic even further, guess I should have.
I wasn't flaming the original poster.....not at all. I remember my first virus download very well..(it was a nasty bugger and finally ended in me throwing in the towel and reformatting the entire drive). Nope, never criticise a newbie who honestly needs help and advice. Probably could've saved me alot of aggravation.
I will, however, play critic to parents who blame software for their children downloading porn. (especially when the kid is more than likely doing something illegal to begin with)
OK, I feel a little better now. and since I can't help the original problem here - I'll just take a hike.

Sorry 'bout that.

I got the same problem after downloading a file on BearShare.
The file was a one of The Goon Show files, and I should have been wary of it as it was a zip file not an mp3 or wav.

It put a pacman like icon on my desktop and in my systray. on clicking it brought up a link to a German porn site. It was called x-finder i think. I put out a search and deleted all references to it but there is still a reference left

A folder called Favourites had been placed in one of my Widows Folders There is already one in there (with the two stars on)
most of the connected links were in there.

There is another folder which had a reference along with a strange file "ado" or something similar, the first file i deleted but when deleting the second two other files appeared. deleting these was ok but again, when deleting the ado three others appeared and they just went on multipling every time I deleted them so in the end I had to leave the ado file in.

I would sugest that if you ran a serch for x- it would brind up x-finder as I am not too sure about the finder.

You could also search for porn, erotic, Download-Porn and sex as I have also found links to porn sites since this came up.

I will try to find that folder with the multipling files in and post what I find.

One more reason I am thrilled I own a Macintosh... Garbage like this has no chance.

you know this really causes me significant angst - I've always found the emotional attachment mac users have to their fringe hardware/software irritating - all a bit too much like religous zealotry for my taste - but - I sure would enjoy being insulated from from all the crap us windows users have to deal with

Upload, download does it really matter. The point is, it isn't adult porn where consenting adult do what they want. They are
of age and if they want to do it, fine by me. This is young underage kids in these pictures who don't know what's going on. The sick people
who would take these pictures in the first place should be found and locked up where they belong in a cage like the
animals they are. If you have kids would you want to see your child doing these things, or your nieces and nephews and distributed on the internet?
Also high and mighty unregistered user, if you are not stealing stuff yourself why are you on Limewire in the first place?

signed unregistered user and not stealing a thing

This is for unregistered user with the reply to kiddy porn who says no one can upload to you.
Hey you "smarty pants" here is a quote from Nutella's good citizen tips "The current shortage of bandwidth on the network is due to the fact that many users are taking up more bandwidth through downloads than they are giving back to the network through uploads. This is, in turn, responsible for the current difficulty in finding hosts that have enough available bandwidth for file uploads. I work on a different file sharing server and I can upload anything to anyone I want, but I do the right thing and ask first.
Now why don't you get your facts straight or just don't comment on things you know nothing about. You are nieve to think nothing is possible when you are hooked up to computers all over the world.
Oh, have you stolen any good files lately?

Those of you who showed interest in my problem of having this porn site (unasked for and unvisited) sitting in my task bar under windows desktop, I GOT RID OF IT. Did it the hard way
method: Noted the date and time of entry in "programs-find and then tracked that date and time visually and manually through windows explorer. When I found anything with that date and time after it I deleted it. Started my computer again and it was gone!
Thank you to all who tried to show me the way. I tried them all and the one I used was the only one that worked 100%.
Thanks again to you all.
Now can someone answer why I cannot complete a down load of a big problem even though I wait overnight for a requery to go through on Limewire. So frustrating!. Some go through just like that. Others. refuse to do so. A bit more help would be welcome here.
For those of you owrried about my marriage and a dirty website, fear not. Everything is just fine. Or as my college dasughter would say, COOL.

Hello!

Actortax you will probably find the answer to that problem in my post in this thread:

I have found that even though many files are going through a "requery", if I type in the title again to search, they will sometimes start up again. Otherwise, they just sit there "requerying" (<----- is that a word? )

p.s. Glad you got your problem fixed!
