Dear LW Guys

Is the link provided by diablo32 to a real copy of LW Pro or something else masquerading as LW Pro?

PS. An attempted attack was made on PC less than 2 minutes after I looked at that website diablo32 link lead to.

I wonder if the visit and the attack are related.

did u downloade the limewire pro or just visited the link?What exactly do u mean by attack?please specify coz i downloaded it from this link and works fine for me.

Hi diablo32

The attack:

I clicked on the link and looked at the page, it seemed strange that someone else was offering LW Pro for free when it costs $18.88 from Limewire.com.

Anyway, I closed the page and started write a reply to your post when Nortons warned me that someone was trying to access my PC through a port commonly used by a Trojan.

At a guess, I was on the web page long enough for my IP address to be captured and long enough for an auto attack to be launched. If I did not have my (Norton) firewall I would have been infected with something.

Now, I could be blaming this web page unfairly and it is possible that I could have been attacked by someone monitoring this forum or an autobot or worm, at this stage I just don't know.

Note, I did not download anything or action anything that could lead to a download.

PS. Next time, if there is a next time, I'll trace the attack.

well,let me see?
no matter how long u stay on that web page the only ones who can capture ur ip will be admins at filefront.com which is one the worlds biggest sites for file sharing and uploading.And i cant see any reason why they would be so interested to attack ur system.
The only thing i can think of is perhaps u got infected by some virus earlier which could be connecting to internet at that moment.

Well, I don't think you're right on this one, Nortons said something was trying to get in not out. And no, I don't think one of the biggest file sharers in the world would launch attacks on visiting PCs.

It is more than likely that I was attacked by a bot or a worm.

It only goes to show that everyone surfing the internet should have at least a firewall and anti-virus protection.
