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. |

 Not a clue about LimeWire Not even sure what LimeWire is. My daughter dowloaded this program a long time ago and is since gone and living on her own. From what I gather at first glance this is some type of FTP program for music and videos. I can't even find an icon and have searched my computer for a clue. NOTHING. AHH! The worst thing is that I want this thing to quit prompting me to download a newer version. I can't even find the OLD version. I think I would actualy like to delete this whole thing from my system but I can't even find it. What is it? Where is it? I just want it to stop! It may even be something that I would like to use. BUT until I can find out how to stop it from terrorizing me every time I turn my computer on, I feel like calling the X-Files. I'm afraid to click on the "upgrade now" link because I'm afraid it will do something sneaky without letting me say NO...get this thing away from me! When I run a search for it, do I need to search for a different file name?It's so frustrating that I just want it to go away. PLEASE, someone help me. I just want to UNINSTALL this thing. Thank you....Gary  |

| Windows users should uninstall LW via start > all programs > Limewire > uninstall or C:\Program Files\Limewire\uninstall. If you've tried to uninstall via add/remove programs, that can cause some problems & in that case use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. Delete what you find. Are you getting these popups just the once, when you turn the computer on? Or are they popping up randomly all the time? If you're getting constant popups, sounds like you have a worm. This is usually caused by downloading an infected file! There's a fix here to try, it's worked for a lot of people. Click on the link below. The easy fix for Limewire popping up every few seconds (try this first) And more info here. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! If you still need help, try one of the sites below...they're more specialised in helping with malware issues  Spyware Warrior :: Index CastleCops® » Security Forums SpywareInfo Forum FAQ - SWI Forums If you do decide to use LW, always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan all files that you download before you open them. |

| From....Not a Clue Whomever you are...(was it Australia?)...I thank you very much. I was able to find it with your help...I think anyway and have, again I think, successfully unistalled it. I failed to mention that I indeed am running Windows and was fortunate that you assumed (perfectly) that I was. It was only popping up on startup so I didn't think I had a worm as you suggested. It was just bugging the sh*t out of me. I"m not a very good Internet user but I usually muddle my way through, especially with help from good people like yourself. Actually LimeWire looks kinda cool and like something I might like to learn about and try sometime in the future. Maybe you could direct me to the easiest place to learn about this type of...I guess it's some type of file sharing program... for some cool stuff to do in my spare time. Doing these Forums is something I haven't done for a long time either. Thanks again and "g'day"(?)....Gary  |

| Yes, LW is a file sharing application. Here are some links with info, if you do decide to give LW a try then make sure to read the FAQ & User Guide before you get started LimeWire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia LimeWire FAQ and User Guide If you use the forum search here as well (search option's up the top, between New Posts & Quick Links), you'll be able to look through past threads...heaps of info here! There are sticky threads in each of the different sections that have answers to commonly asked questions. If you do download LW, make sure to download only from the official site. Lime Wire » Download LimeWire Start off with the free basic version first, don't even think about buying the Pro version until you're sure you're happy with LW. If you ever do decide to buy Pro...please, please save & back up your Pro installers  And if you do start using LW & don't want it starting up as soon as you turn on the computer - tools > options > advanced > system startup. Untick 'run on system startup' > apply > ok!! |
