Does WinMX have Spyware?

I thought that it has been proven that WinMX has spyware and such installed in it? is this true? Because this website says it doesn't but I think I disagree?

 

I think that they are gonna deny it whether or not it has spyware... but honestly I don't know. I wouldn't trust any P2P app NOT to have spyware. It may not be included in the software, but that doesn't mean you can't get it as a result of using it. Such risks are the nature of using that kind of software.

 

No no, im trying to get everyone elses opinion on it, whos used it before.

 

even if it does, and I SPYBOT and Adware and Spy Blaster and all those other fancy programs, I should be fine right?

 

I guess... this would be the way to find out

 

I suspected it had spyware... but then again I'm suspicous of most things of that nature

 

I've checked it over with setup file checkers, spybot, the spybot resident shield (i.e. monitors supicious keys/files being added), adaware... and nothing, to show one of my friends that it was spyware free.

So AFAIK, no spyware.

 

i have used it for over 600 downloads and have NOT seen any ad or spyware from it..
try soul seek that one is ok also, but you have to share with that one or you will be banned. also you need to have a high speed connection no dial ups.
stay away from kazaa, morphius, bearshare...esp. kazaa.
if you are looking for full concerts of groups ( that is what i download now ) try live music archive they have 14,000 concerts most in flac. or shn. they have Ogg Vorbis, VBR MP3 and 64Kbps MP3. also .

to the moderator sorry if that link is not acceptable on this forum

 

Ya, all my programs do not detect Spyware or Viruses, I would say its safe. I think the only way you could get stuff like that is from downloading something that isn't what you think it is.
By the way, do you guys like Anti-Vir over Vast? I cant use both because my computer crashes, its ethor one or the other and I'v never gotten a chance to use Vast. Whats your opinions?

 

just to add to my post, the archive is 100% legal all the bands there have given the OK for you to download .
you will NOT find phish, widespread panic or the dave mathews band there, and many many others. they have all stated that they do not want to use that service right now.
