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. |

 guff, im glad you're loving privoxy. you will notice spyware infections will go down, plus when you visit a bad site, privoxy will tell you to stop. it'll show you a screen and tell you why you shouldn't view that site. tor just keeps you anonymous. The Elder, i'm not too sure about your problem. i will look around and search google to find you a response.  |

| banmicrosofttoo I have noticed a big decrease in spyware infections, zero criticals since installing Privoxy (my average per day was at least 20 through IE) using Adaware. The only thing I have noticed in my Tor window is it telling me i need a socks4a while i am using something like IRC. It doesn't seem to be a problem but I was wondering if i need another program other than mIRC. I'm quite new to this. |

| Disappearing Files Hi Elder Its obvious that someting got into your PC, probably a worm of some sort. You say you have Norton's software, from what you've said I guess that you have System Works but you have not mentioned the version e.g. 2003, 2004 or 2005. (I have NSW 2004). You have also not mentioned whether you use a firewall, again I have NIS 2005 which contains NAV2005 and NPF2005. If you provide more info I will try to help. UK Bob |

| Thank you for your recommendations banmicrosofttoo! I just have a problem after I downloaded Clamwin Antivirus. I don't understand why there is an error in virus scanning. My norton antivirus is going to expire soon so I thought that I can use Clamwin but it so far cannot virus scan. What should I do? Is this a configuration problem (but I just clicked on automatically detect settings but it still does not work) or because it is conflicting with Nortons? Just letting you know that I am a complete idiot in computers.  Any advice or help is greatly appreciated! |

| It is most likely an interference with norton so after it expires unistall it then un-install Clamwin Antivirus and then re-install it hoe that works -cookie  |

| Disappearing files UK Bob Thanks for the response. Sorry I'm so late in my response. My mother fell and broke her hip. I just downloaded Zone Alarm Personal firewall. I'm currently using Norton System Works 2001. I own 2004 but past experience with it caused me to revert to 2001. It's probably due to my limited memory but Norton took over my machine and was reluctant to give it back. Boot time was terrible and so was internet access. My wife threatened to leave home if I didn't remove it from her XP machine. Before, when I tried to use LW direct connect LW would tell me I was either behind a firewall or a router. I did not bother to change anything feeling I was being protected but maybe not. I've considered establishing a static IP and forcing a port but did not feel it necessary due to uploads and downloads seeming to work fine. |

| Hi Elder First of all, may I say how sorry I am to hear that your mother has been injured, I too have a frail mother and know of the problems than can arise. I wish your mother a speedy recovery. As for the PC, I think you have made a mistake reverting back to Norton SW 2001, simply because the anti-virus part of it may not be able to handle modern day worms and viruses. A colleague at work told me that when he upgraded from NAV2003 to NAV2004 he found a previously missed virus, and you are still using 2001. I use LW Pro and I have found that the latest version (4.9.28) has a problem with PeerGuardian 2, it is seen as a firewall. Even when I establish a high-speed internet connection with LW and PG2 running simultaneously LW will disconnect itself while the internet connection is still running. So I guess, as LW is now more sensitive, you probably have something on your PC that LW is reporting as a firewall, whatever it is you have to find it a switch it off. To conclude, you need an up to date virus scanner and in the meantime you should do an online virus scan, e.g. Symantec does one. You need to find out what LW (the sensitive soul that it now is  )is seeing a firewall and switch it off.Hope this helps UK Bob Last edited by ukbobboy01; September 7th, 2005 at 06:08 AM. |

| banmicrosofttoo, you forgot to add Ad-aware, Spybot and SpywareBlaster. Forget Ms Anti-Spyware even they use Gaint, but they recode it to fit their needs. Ad-aware, Spybot and SpywareBlaster become a maximum defense against Spyware. Ms Anti-Spyware giving a false positive. you will see many many people in tech world tend to suggest Ad-aware and SpywareBlaster |
