Why is this kick butt application so overlooked in this community? This is by far the best P2P app out now. I really think that most people that claim that it doesn't work for them, have no idea what theyre doing on a computer.
Frankly, I am soooooo sick and tired at these little geeks and elves and trolls that spam this community, with their Kceasy, their Ants, their waste, and other such crap. Furthermore, its not Microsoft's fault if your computer is not secure, it is your OWN! Microsoft has innovated the way that the world works, so thanks for talking out your hole!
To be secure get yourself the following:
A good firewall (router, or at least software)Zonealarm free is reccomended.
A good antivirus: AVG free is reccomended.
Antispyware: Micrsoft antispy, adaware, spyware blaster, and spybot search and destroy all should be installed.
An anti trojan. A squared is a great free one.
Finally, you need a good host file: google it
Once in a while do a virus/tojan/spyware scan in safe mode (reboot, hold F8). This way any trojan that is installed will not be running as a service or anything. You can easily delete it. NOTE: updated your antivirus/antispyware/antitrojan software in normal mode first to get the latest definitions.
I have used this standard for years and have never been infected.
Also DO NOT pirate. Pirated software is probably THE most common way to get infected. Use your head. Don't blame Microsoft for your own shortcomings. There is a ton of freeware out there to suit your needs. Make it a poiint to eliminate using pirated files as a standard.
If you want to download mp3s, if you like the band, support them. Don't be a dick. It is sad that some pricks that never ever buy a CD will ruin P2P file sharing as we know it for the honest people who want an easy alternative to radio that lets you listen to what you want when you want it. Shoutcast and Mercora are limited. Also the only mp3 files I keep to own are indie and/or impossible to find anywhere else.
(Which is easier? Taking a few steps to properly secure your Windows workstation or configuring a linux workstation? The answer is quite obvious.) Linux is a very COOL looking pain in the butt. To all of the elves and trolls, get a life, get some sun, get laid, do something!
LEAVE US NORMAL PEOPLE ALONE. You do not own the world of technology. I have two degrees in computer science. I know a thing or two about comupter machines and systems. The majority of the elves and trolls in here are little kids that have no other life outside of the cyber world. It is very sad. Go work out and eat right so girls will want you. Stop trashing everyone else whom you do not think is as smart as you. I'll bet I'm smarter than you you but I wont say it...oops sorry, LOL!
