Are there spyware free versions of kazaa or bearshare?

[Tupac4life]

Ok, I've used kazza,WinMX,Ares & limewire.Out of them, Kazaa used to be real good for finding applications,mp3's & RARE MP3's too,Music videos & Movies. I've started using bearshare for months but recently found out it has spyware & viruses just like kazaa & the others. I had to uninstall both, & use a virus sweep along with adaware! Now my computers clean. Is there any version of kazaa or bearshare that I can get that won't put viruses & spyware crap on my computer? I heard the lite versions has spyware too but I don't know if that's true or not!

Lite version have no spyware. You heard that from another forum?

Although no spyware, I can't guarantee there won't be viruses. Kazaa = viruses

So my favorite program is bearshare! So if I get bearshare lite.. & do a scan & it has a virus & I erase it off. Is there a possibility that it won't come back or new viruses show up?

A quick search of programs at Zeropaid pays off.

(Great, now I sound like a salty regular at Zeropaid)

K-Lite 2.7's Official Homepage

It's got no ads, no spyware, and really cool features.

Like automatic fake-file detection, as shown in this screenshot: http://www.my-k-lite.com/images/screens/screen_0006.png

The little ladybug icons indicate fake files.

IMO, I would avoid ANY form of Kazaa like the plague!!! The OP stated they use Limewire...last I checked, isn't Limewire pretty much the exact same thing as Bearshare? They're on the same network, right?

[evilmegaman]

they might use the same network. But they are seperated by making their own little limewire and bearshare islands. they're both very good so I reccomend either one. Just depends on if you like java or not basically
