Re: A word of caution

These peer-to-peer file sharing programs are good for more than just music ! After some recent technical difficulties with a file I REALLY WANTED to see ( http://www.givemeliberty.org/NoRedress/Update01-14-03.htm ), I've been looking into peer-to-peer software as a way to bypass the heavily compromised, CARNAVORE infested ISPs. As I understand it, however, LimeWire itself comes with spyware built in, and I've heard you can't get rid of the spyware without crippling LimeWire. Spyware is not as destructive as a virus, but in some ways it's worse, since you can hardlly tell it's there. See http://www.lavasoftUSA.com for more about spyware and a good free spyware remover.
A word of caution
From another email list Warning foranyone using LimeWire or Morpheus For many years now I've used a free download service called LimeWire. You can usually find songs, programs and other information others care to share.Lately, there have been a number of programs that turn up when you search for what you want that are viruses that plant invisable report programs on your computer. This virus doesn't do any damage but rather monitors keystrokes and URL visits and reports these back to another computer. This system has thought of everything you could possibly search for and has renamed this same file under hundreds of thousands of different names. It's the exact same file and comes from the exact same IP: 38.144.198.150. If any of your more advanced users care to back trace the IP, they will find it's the central computer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation located in the Justice Department building on Capitol Hill Blvd.I would warn anyone who uses LimeWire or Morpheus to beware of what you're downloading. If you ask for, say, Sunny Day.mp3 and you see a file listed that says something like this:Sunny Day (Awesome!) mp3 (Size) 302 kbOrSunny Day (The Real Thing!) mp3 (Size) 302 kbBe careful!!! First of all, any song will be at least 1,500 kb unless it's only a fragment. Second of all, why would someone put "AWESOME!!" or "The Real Thing!" unless they were trying to scam you in the first place?Every single one of those files in questions traces back to IP 38.144.198.150.I downloaded the file but didn't run it and sent it to a computer whiz friend who analyzed it by line code. It's designed to record keystrokes (whatever you type on your keyboard is kept in a file you don't know about on your hard drive and downloaded on command), record which websites you visit, copy your email and place a pass through any firewall so that the recorded information can be transmitted back to the main FBI computer.Beware, Big Brother is in place.Yours,Stephanie
