Question Which do I download???

Hey...

What program do I download to get files/songs?

I see all the options, but I don't know which one is best...

I am on Windows 98 SE, and I am interested in downloading songs and movies.

What is the best?

Okay, I just read the entire Stickied poll about this...

Any here's my question...

1. What is "spyware", and what programs (gnutella, and others) Do and do NOT have it..:

2. Why should I download any of these Gnutella programs instead of using Kazza/Morpheus?

spyware is just what is says on the tin... it spy's on what you are doing... it will log your keystrokes and worst or your web browsing at best!

Morpheus boasts that there is no spywear but what ever proggie you use there is always an element of doubt! Anyway, unless you are browsing totally unacceptable sites you need not worry your arrrrse about such goings on!

Post Spyware

You can check if your system is infested with spyware by downloading Ad-Aware from here. This sprograms scans your system as an AV, but it looks for spyware instead of virus.

Ad-aware works great.

Hi Phil!

Actually there are three Gnutella clients with spytools:

- bearshare
- liwewire (only the free version!)
- swap nut

And the client kazaa is also infected but you can use Morpheus...

Download ad-aware as the others suggested!

why should you use a Gnet client? Very easy...

Gnutella is an other net with other users and other files... so if you use Morpheus "and" a Gnutella client you can find much more files!
