| 384014 | 2005-09-01 21:51:00 | Hi there. I have fonund a not bad P2P that doesnt appear to have a great deal of spyware or viruses. It is called IMESH. It appears to be a safe friendly and great program. But as stated in other post there is all ways the risk of strang people out there placing viruses on it. So beware. Cheers |

| 384015 | 2005-09-02 02:05:00 | IMESH is full of spyware & at one point came bundled with a virus aswell. | Greven (91) | ||

| 384017 | 2005-09-02 02:56:00 | Thats interesting . Thanks for the insite . Will do my best to remove when home . These virusees these days are unbeleavble . Its about time to lose MS for good . Bring on the funky Pengiun . To be fair to MS, they have about 95% of the OS market in the world, so useing simple logic 95% of the viruses written will be written to attack MS OS systems . I know its simplistic, but when you write a virus to attack to reep havoc, you would'nt waste time attacking the 5% that is not MS . Many people don't realise the Dos came from Unix (now basically linux), and Windows was orginally built around Dos . I am not a huge fan of MS but they do take more flak than is fair, to be fair . |

| 384018 | 2005-09-02 03:20:00 | I can't believe no one mentioned http://www.shareaza.com/ shareaza is open source which is usually the best, sometimes only way, to avoid syware and advertising. From Wikipedia Shareaza is a Windows–based peer-to-peer client which supports the Gnutella, Gnutella2, EDonkey Network, and BitTorrent network protocols and which can handle magnet links, ed2k links, Piolet links, and the now deprecated Gnutella links. It was originally developed as closed-source freeware by Michael Stokes, and is now open-source under the GPL. |

| 384021 | 2005-09-02 04:55:00 | To be fair to MS, they have about 95% of the OS market in the world, so useing simple logic 95% of the viruses written will be written to attack MS OS systems . The windows 9x series has a horrible design from a security perspective - thats most of the reason why linux is always touted as so much more secure than windows . The windows NT series fixed most the inherient design flaws of the 9x series, but they couldn't fix the users that couldn't handle using non-privilaged accounts & they couldn't fix the 3rd party developers that required an administrator account to run their software . If all linux users did everything as root, I don't think that linux would be any more secure than windows . That was a bit off topic, but a good rant none the less . |

| 384022 | 2005-09-02 05:05:00 | Quite right Greven, The letest iterations of windows are still not idea. In mandrake linux a task that requires privilaged access will result in a prompt for the root password to perform that task - there is almost never a reason to actually login as root. In windows you are either privilaged or not and if you are then it's open season. It's not a market share thing, it's a design thing. |
