These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. 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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

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. |

 Trojan Horse/ Cracker/Virus Please help!! While using Limewire, I have had downloads start that I did not select for downloading. I killed most of them while they were downloading, but many of them were pornographic and I do not want them on my system. I am a novice computer user and am not sure if this is a virus or some other kind of snafu. I downloaded an AV and it detected a worm virus, numerous instances, and it apparently took care of the problem. However, I have had this happen several times and have deleted all of my downloaded files and uninstalled Limewire and even restored my system only to have this happen again after downloading for several days with Limewire. Is it the files I am downloading? Can the virus/worm/whatever stay on my c drive after restoring the drive. I have also tried file shredders...are they effective in deletign viruses or is this best left to AV. Also, I think that may have disabled my firewall while downloading. Would this have had an affect? Sorry for all the questions. Appreciate the help. P.S. I am not actually a virgin, nor and I from Alaska. It is a pretty lame political joke that probably only Bob and Tom listners will get. It is what happens when they decide to add P. Rico as the 51st state but then decide to combine some states to avoid having to add another star to the flag. They decide to combine states. Indiana and Kansas...Indias...get it...I know...not funny...but then a Senator (Bob Packwood or Ted Kennedy type I believe) ask about combining Alaska and Virgina...Alaskavirgin...of course there are no virgins in the Senate...hence the joke. Again, I know it really isn't funny unless you are a political juncky. You know...Ted Kennedy saying that he will ALASKAVIRGIN...but of course he can't find any in the Senate... I'll quit while I am ahead.  |

 I'm probably not appropriate to answer your questions. I notice I posted a response to your earlier thread about 'unwanted downloads...virus?' I don't know if these will help but it might be worth viewing these following threads: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hreadid=27476, & http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hreadid=27397, & http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hreadid=26605, & http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=26903 Hope these have some helpful suggestions. Great joke! |

 Ran AV...Found Virues!!! OK...I have learnt a lesson...scan all downloads. I ran an AV today and found literally dozens of viruses. My guess is that this is why I was having the problems I was having. I literally dozens of infected files...despite my efforts to delete what I thought were the infected files. Here are some of the viruses my AV found... worm_bagle.AH TROJ_INOR.A TROJ_GLITCH.B TROJ_SMALL.LI WORM_CYDOG.B Anybody know anything about any of these? There were others but I just quit counting and writing them down. Any thoughts on this compromising any financial data? I have online accounts with my CCs. Will defanently monitor them and look out for bad charges. I will never download without scanning the files again. Is there anyone to report this to? I assume this is criminal? Any thoughts about restoring my system? The AV is current but does this guarentee that the problem is gone? Thanks for the help.. Alaska |

| VIRUSES Get yourself a good antivirus program and here is the most important thing... Set your AV program to scan ALL INCOMING FILES whether through your e-mail or LW, etc. I get an occaisional hit but my AV won't even let the file in so it cna do any damage. LW also has the ability to scan for viruses but you have to set the switch. I do both plus I scan my DL folder one more time before I open it. Yes it is redundant but better to be safe than sorry. Still, you seem to get an inordinate amount of viruses. I have been with LW about 4 months and have maybe been hit three to four times. If you want to avoid the porn you can filter out keywords in the options section of LW. This will block much but not all of the files because some idiots insist on mislabeling files and if they catch one unintentionally just keep passing it on. I got a little lazy a week ago and checked a bunch of comics for my kids before letting them view and of course the one I didn't check turned out to not be the famous webslinger but a bunch of manga porn cartoons. That took some explaining (lol). I hope this helps. Best of luck. If you need help in setting switches or AV advice you can PM me and I'll get back to youo as soon as I can. CJ |

| Well certainly drastic but efficient measures. Well done. Make sure you keep you filters in LW with .exe added & ignore adult content ticked, & as chicagojohn recommended to keep your AV, adaware, etc softwares active whilst u use LW. It is strange u should've been hit so hard. If u have xp it might well be worth seting up a firewall as chicagojohn would happily recommend u to do & probably even tell u how w/o affecting LW's efficiency. |
