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. |

| Do you have CA Security Centre? EFW File Extension - Open .EFW files Did you download the file from the official site? Lime Wire » Download LimeWire |

| Thanks for responding Birdy - good to hear from another Perth resident. (How do I record my details?) Yes, I do have CA Security suite. Yes, I got an email after paying for LW Pro, linking me to the download. I tried to click your EFW link - IE7 blocked it, so I turned off the Pop Up blocker, but it still blocked it. |

| You could try using another browser to look at the link. Anyway, here's what it says: File Type Renamed Zip or Executable File Category Compressed Files Common? No File Description Compressed .ZIP or executable .EXE file renamed by CA Security Centre to have a ".efw" extension; typically applies to e-mail attachments scanned by Computer Associates (CA) antivirus software. EFW zipped files may be opened by changing the file extension to ".zip" and opening the file with a decompression utility, such as WinZip or Stuffit Expander; executable files may be run directly by changing the file extension to ".exe" and opening the file. NOTE: Do not open unknown e-mail attachments from non-trusted sources, as they may contain viruses or other malicious programs. You can prevent EFW files from being created by temporarily disabling your antivirus software when downloading legitimate zipped or executable files. Program(s) that open efw files  Mac OS  Smith Micro Stuffit Expander — New Version: Save 10% BOMArchiveHelper (included with Mac OS X) Windows Corel WinZip WinAce PKZip Bitberry BitZipper Winferno SnapZip TurboSoft AnyZipl Smith Micro Stuffit Deluxe — Save 20% Linux unzip funzip p7zipSo just try renaming the file to .exe & see whether it installs after that. If you want to record your location so that it shows, go to User CP (top left next to FAQ). Once you're in the user cp, you can add your location by clicking on Edit Profile on the left of the page  |

| I tried renaming to .exe but it still didn't open ... so I bought and downloaded the Smith Micro Stuffit - and, would you believe, it arrived as an .efw, so I can't open that either! I have a request in to Smith Micro support ... |

| I'm with Birdy here, only a little more Ambitious. Get RID of CA Security Completely. If your using it for Home use, Try something else. There are some Very Good Free Security Programs out there that will do just fine without all of the Grief. My .02 cents

| That was so simple Birdy - I turned the Firewall off, and redownloaded, and I'm in business. Didn't need Stuffit, though I expect it'll come in handy ... I would be reluctant to remove any protection software - since joining Limewire I have been a little concerned at unwanted windows opening - or is this more with the free version, and not LWPro? (I'm not talking about LimeWire's own popups) |

| Remoc's trying to save you some pain, by suggesting you get of CA  He's not suggesting that you run with no protection... just that maybe there are better programs out there & that some of those could be freeware.It's up to you whether you use it or not, but there are suggestions that it's not that good... check out the links below for some examples. PC World - Review of the Computer Associates CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 Antivirus and Security CA Internet Security Suite 2007 Review - Not Enough Bang for your Buck Security Suites 2008 - CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 - Full Review - Reviews by PC Magazine Review: CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 - New Zealand's source for technology news on Stuff.co.nz Are you making sure to scan all files that you download with your AV, before opening them? There are heaps of infected files being shared & you do have to be really careful. It's so easy to download a nasty. * WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of ! * If you're seeing popups (apart from Pro nags etc) then it might be wise to scan for spyware/adware. It shouldn't matter whether you're using LW basic or Pro... both connect to the same network & neither have security features. |

| I appreciate being saved from pain, but I don't yet know the name of anything anything more efficient than CA. Thanks for the tip about scanning downloaded files before opening - I've done this, admittedly using CA Virus Scan, and nothing detected. However - I have downloaded some so called mp3s which appear ok, but when I click to open, they open Media Player with a message about extension does not match file format, then when I click the play button, it opens up two IE7 windows - a ****** [ < edit - these asterisks appeared where I typed the word C-A-S-I-N-O] .... and a Dating site - pretty dodgy - so if you know how to avoid that stuff, I'd be grateful. What do you use to scan safely? Cheers. |
