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. 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. |

 Limewire/Gnunella forums destroyed my computer I came to this forum for one reason. To wit: Limewire warned all, with a displayed window, that there were problems with an infiltrator and please download the latest version to insure your security. I deleted the old Limewire program immediately. I clicked on the download address displayed by Limewire. I was unable, after several attempts, to download the new version. I was denied every attempt. Nor was a I able to find an alternative download (that I knew was safe). So I joined Gnuella forums (since Limewire apparently doesn't offer support to basic users) and someone sent me an address to download the new Limewire. It infected my compuer immediately. The first song I downloaded, The Lady Came From Baltimore, by Tim Hardin, refused to play or open....or anything.... and my computer began to malfunction all over the place besides being slow all the time. I worried about that Limewire download because everything was fine before and it was the first problem I had with operating. So I did a complete scan....and there it was: Trogan//ladycamefrombaltimore//limewire etc.  .Now I am trying to rid my computer of Limewire and I cannot. It's beyond my com-pacity and is apparently quite complicated. Limewire offers no help. While its true that I use Basic and pay nothing getting a computer crash, and no solution, wasn't really what I expected or deserved. I have noticed from checking around that most people advise going to Add or Remove Programs....Limewire does not even appear in my All Programs list at all. So what do I do now folks?  |

| LimewireGnuella forums destroyed my computer Prove it? What kind of reply is that? I think a genius like you can go to my original thread (where I asked if anyone could give me a safe easy download for Limewire), and read the reply I got which included the download site you deleted. I think you'll see it was posted to me there. "Proving" I downloaded from that site doesn't seem easy to do, but I am not on here to waste my time with such nonsense. I came here because thru Gnuella forums I wound up with a dysfunctional Limewire and thru insidious virus download came thru Limewire thus downloaded. I asked for the method for deleting this Limewire program and you were no help at all. I don't have to prove anything to you. If you don't want to help please don't reply. koolmuse |

| uh huh...well IC now that LOTR advised you to download that version...and I assume its a valid one....which means you got no problems from that download/install, rather said other issues came in some other fashion... you do have to prove your point...said point being that you got compromised because of this forum...I don't think so...it would be best if you realized that also... perhaps there was a virus in that mp3....or more likely that mp3 was no mp3 but a .exe virus named as an mp3...

| These are not helpful answers Though I may have downloaded the virus myself my primary question remains unanswered and that is: How do I remove this infected Limewire, and the damage it has done, from my computer? And if it's a legitimate safe version why can't I just "Add/remove programs" as simple as 1-2-3? And why, oh why, doesn't Limewire even appear on my All Programs list? It appears to me that the site I was directed to, thru Gnuella, is somehow not right because I can't remove it. Wouldn't this seem so to you? "My punishment" for using Limewire for free, is mainly Limewire's fault for having no apparent help/contact, unless you are a paying member. Being not so computer-inclined I assumed that the download I was given was a filter against viruses and "infiltrators" as Limewire warned. After all that was why I wanted to download it to begin with at Limewire's urging. Limewire should provide the methods for removing vulnerable infected Limewire versions. Since they don't, I appeal to Gnuella Forums for some sound instruction. So far it hasn't worked out well. And I see few alternatives that I can rely on. the myriad of websites that claim to remove it could be equally insidious. How do I know which is good and which is not? So where does one turn? |

| AFAIK you have to remove LW via its own uninstaller...access this via Start>All Programs>LimeWire you may have to reinstall the version you downloaded then do the above
