    Best P2P

    in Nerd's Chatter [/nerds]

    Posted

    When I used Limewire Lite and Pro before, I got 2 worms, 1 keylogger, and about 10 entries of other spyware. Viruses rare? I think not! And viruses are not always in tax software. I noticed that at least 1 file shows up for every search I do, and it's always THE SAME EXACT SIZE. Suspicious, no?  :(  And once I dl'd an mp3, and when I tried to play it, a thousand pop-ups came up and I had to manually turn off my PC to get them to stop. Limewire sucks, period.

    I seriously doubt that! I even tried using LimeWire Pro 4.9.29 to download Temperature - Sean Paul. It came up completely clean on my virus scanner. :) How do you manage to find MP3s with viruses on them? :huh:

    Oops, scratch that. It wasn't an.. um... *cough* mp3. :naughty:

    DC++? I'll give it a try!

    Wait! I said BearShare LITE NOT Pro!  :blink:

     

    What about LimeWire Pro 4.9.29?

     

    Yes, I have run into viruses while downloading files off of P2P programs like those but those special files are usually very rare applications like tax programs.

    No matter the Lite or Pro, BS and LW fill your PC with major $hit. When I used Limewire Lite and Pro before, I got 2 worms, 1 keylogger, and about 10 entries of other spyware. Viruses rare?

    I use BearShare Lite 5.2.1 and LimeWire Pro 4.9.29

     

    I believe the Lite and Pro versions mean they have no spyware included with the clients.  :lol:

    Oh poor, innocent garyoak, little do you know... :P I also use BearShare Pro 5.2.1.2, but I still got 2 Trojans, 1 worm, and 3 keyloggers.

     

    I do use bittorrent (Azureus and BitLord) but it takes much longer to dl things, and there's a wider selection of files on P2P. I just wish there was a P2P client that filtered out the viruses and spyware... :(

     

     

     

     

    p.s.

    This is my 100th post!! :blink:

    Does anyone know of a good P2P client that isn't completely filled with viruses (Limewire, Bearshare, KaZaa) where I can download just about the same stuff? I like using P2P, but Limewire and Bearshare put so much crap on my PC, like KeyLoggers and Trojans... :P
