They can't be "kicked off" as LimeWire isn't private. However, you can block them by going to Filter Hosts in your LimeWire options. Enter all the IP addresses of these files and they won't show up anymore.

Thanks for your posting about the files containing a virus. I had been getting the same files every time a ran a search, but I never downloaded any of them because their small kb size made me suspicious that they were bogus.

After I read your posting, I entered the IP addresses in "block host" and it seems to have done the trick.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown!!!

Thumbs up if that doesn't work...

just filter out all the words this person uses
like (awesome!!!) or (please share!) etc.
and that should do it.

when i tried to find out the host it doesn't give me a chance so this is the only way i know how to stop it.


cheers!

see my post above this one. This idiot is not just on LW. I'm going to enter the address in my filter. But it would be nice if LW did something about it too. Took me 8 hours to clean out my computer from the trojans.

how can I see the address of this a$$hole BEFORE I download? I just did a search for Edit again and got 27 results that all seem to be from the same moron with the trojans. But how can I get the address?

ok. I just added the ip "38.144.198.150" to the block list. It seems to have worked. I did the same search and this time only got one result that seems legit. Thanks for that address. But my question is how can I find the address the next time one of these a$$holes does this?

I don't know which combinations of keys to use on PC, but for Mac it's: control-click on one of the column headings (such as Name, Quality, #...) and a drop-down menu will show. Click on Location.

If anyone knows the keys for PC, please post it so others can do this.

Thanks!
