Ares Galaxy, Ares Lite or Warez v2.0 or v2.2? I scan on a daily basis as the computer im using is currently used by 4 other people and i've had no slowing down of the PC. Adaware is updated on a regular basis .. pestpatrol ... i used last night for the first time in 5 weeks and only got spyware from was Navexcel ( what eva that is for ) :D
Well Red , I've had NO Spyware or Adware from it ... it only uses a DataMiner ( minor risk ) for targeting adverts to the ad box in the lower right part of the client. As for Kazaa it wasnt a decentralized P2P program was it? As far as i knew , Kazaa was working off a server ( dont quote me as i could be wrong ) and thats how ARIAA got involved .. i dont know about kazza as ive never used it b4 .. maybe Quicksilver could answer that one for me or some other person who has actually used it? :wink:

Personally, against spyware/adware I use:
Ad-aware
Spy bot search and destroy
Spyware blaster (supposedly prevents various infection methods like spy bot does).
All 3 are kept up to date.

I don't visit porn or warez sites either. I find that many commercial sites have at least a data miner lurking somewhere.

I have tried that prog and it doesnt work worth a monkeys nipple...
The interface is insane, bunch of banners, ads, etc.
Search just brings up crap, Maybe its just me but i think its a Kazap wannabe or something.

I will stick with MX
