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. |

| mp3 virus I always thought that mp3's where safe, let me explain what happened. I was dl-ing a mp3 by "Morphine" it was a track I never heard of and it had absolutely .Mp3 as extention (I thought I had everything of morphine) The dl is almost finished, then norton av pops up, warning! referring to the unfinished mp3, (at that stage a Phex mp3.dl file) So I aborted the dl, and scanned the file, wich according to norton contained a virus and could not be repaired. I deleted it a while ago so I am not quite shure wat virus it was, and I can't find it in the log anymore but when I wanted to report it, I got the message, it was well known and not necessary to report. edit: I haven't got a clue how this "mp3 virus" would get the chance to indeed do it's thing, but who would rename a virus to mp3 if it did not do anything?

| I did a search and found a MP3 virus called BLOAT but it looks to have been a hoax... http://www.mp3.com/news/111.html Mp3 files do not have execution code, and even if they had some high level execution code (like Java), it would not be given full access to your system because that would be way to excessive for a music file. What might have happened with that file your downloading was that, norton just looks for patterns, if you recall you said the file extension was "dl" not "mp3" (similar to DLL but that is not the issue), viruses have certain kinds of patterns and some like to hide themselves in data files, that kind of virus has to be executed to run in your system (some other program has to know where the virus is to execute it and mp3s again dont have executable code). So what likely happened is that coincedently a pattern in the mp3 file looked like a viruses pattern to norton. Just in case though, I will do a little more research on MP3 viruses to see if there was any other hoaxs or any other issues... |

| Another possibility I have heard is an executable virus that has been renamed to look like an mp3 file... but it would be up to the media playing software to look at a file and figure out if its an mp3 file and if its not if its an executable and try to execute it... not many programs do this, I tried for example renaming an executable to mp3 and winamp didnt do it, tried renaming it to avi and windows media player said it was not an avi. So it seems in most cases an mp3 is safe... |

 mp3 virus I do not think it is possible to insert a virus in a mp3, although I did find some weird mp3 wich were playable, but, to burn them as an audio track you had to convert them to a wav file (nero=unrecognised format, adaptec=copyright something...) And another kind of weird mp3 was playable fully but if I tried to edit it with nero wav editor I could only edit the first minute or so... I doubt that any program that cannot load a file would try to rename it into a .com or .exe and run them.. it would just be looking for trouble... |
