Spywire? Ugh. lol. Shareaza is good though.

I think that is what Tarun is suggesting.

i sure would. Shareaza has a built in media player which can play any format(codec dependant) and it can play unfinished music downloads. it is very nice
did you know that the maker of Shareaza made Gnutella2?
i would go with limewire, always fast download and tons of files. Tried Shareaz liked it but no fast enough download.... 
Also could those two threats be flase postitives?

hasn't limewaire got spyware too? Never heard of that other programme..
i have done full system scans and everything but limewires not one of them.
Limewire downloads are almost all spyware. Shareaza filters out those sort of results half the time.
WinMX is the only one that doesn't include spyware with it. Limewire definitely does.

Limewire is open source so it cant contain spyware
edit:lol Tarun meant that the downloads may or may not be spyware. that is true for each and every p2p client.
edit2:i havent used Limewire but i know that Shareaza can filter out "Bogus Results" and "Non-Matching Files". so yes spyware is filtered. dont know if Limewire does this.
edit3:KaZaa has spyware. K-Lite is a free and clean version of KaZaa. Bearshare connects to Gnutella and Gnutella2 so no point in having it since shareaza does. Grokster has spyware.
