I think the article states that "paid" versions come without all the bundled stuff. Not sure to tell you the truth as I do not use any P2P programs on my system.

I know that a program called Diet K removes the spyware/adware that comes bundled with Kazaa, but I do not know if it works with Limewire. All P2P is dangerous to me so I avoid it and advise the students that I have to help to stay away from them too.

Here is what I know about P2P: Kazaa, Limewire, BearShare and P2P network load a computer with loads of spyware and unnecessary programs that increasingly slow down a computer. Also since there is no standard to peer to peer being virus free makes it a game of Russian Roulette.

first start with a clean p2p client. the risk comes with what you >download< or think you download, not sure- scan it with av first, esp extensions like .exe, zip .iso .rar etc. its really no different then carp** you can pickup on the internet, or have installed as 3rd party "extras"-- people who download this and that, launch it,click here and there, open e-mail attachments etc etc will soon be posting HJT logs somewhere.besides the obvious risk taken when opening your machine to others
How Can I Reduce My Risk?
