Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Moderators There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. 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. |

 A quick follow-up... Please try the following... (I do NOT know what anti-virus and/or firewall stuff you are running so the next bit may not work, depending on how your current protection software works... But, I do know that what I am about to suggest to you works very well happily with Avast... Avast is, in my opinion, the best Internet Security gear available today...) Right, all that said... Do a search for a program called Prevx 2.0 I mean do a search on Google or whatever... Do NOT try to download a p2p based (LimeWire or any other) 'offering' of this program !!! ALL versions being 'shared' are with Trojan launchers... Don't believe me ? Try them, ha ha ha ha ha ! There is a full function trial version available for 30 days use. It's also really cheap to buy a 1 year license ! Download it and SAVE it to My Documents or something... NOT to your Desktop! Do NOT select Open after the Download completes... SAVE it ! Install it... Be sure to have your internet connection enabled during all of the install process. Be patient because the first-time install can take quite a long time... Run the various scans available... Hope. Prevx is the most effective 'cleaner' I have ever used... It fixes all the stuff that Norton and Avast and Kaspersky and others do not get or cannot access and repair and/or delete. Last, for anyone reading the above posts... Screw AVG... It's junk.   |

| AVG was the only known AV to pick this virus up and get rid of it... None of the other AV's did Ursula...That's why AVG is suggested... Once the scan is done and the virus has been cleaned up AVG can be uninstalled and the user can go back to their preferred AV...

| Well there, Dubya-Dubya... Please try Prevx 2.0 ! Magic app. And, here is a starter link for help in renaming file extensions... I am not saying this is the best site or solution, but it is something that will work for those who have suffered the change of extension name from .mp3 to .zip - Changing a file extension. The other basic method is In Windows Explorer go to Tools/FolderOptions. Click on the View tab and if the option "Hide Extensions for Known File Types" is active, de-select it. Then proceed to rename the file, using the End key to go to the end of the filename and change the extension to "mp3." Last edited by ursula; September 10th, 2007 at 02:41 AM. |

| Thanks for the really helpful tips. I've encountered this a few times myself and I can't seem to find a solution. I may have to change my anti-virus too. |

| Another related link http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...-limewire.html. Vague memory is Startup Items is where a part of the issue is. It needs to be removed from there, initially disabled loading at system startup via system settings. |
