is the a software you can use to remove everything that the p2p left in your pc ?
this type of crap only happens with a shitty box. very simple and free programs like avg, zonealarm or comodo, etc. can pretty much prevent this. also, routers have built in encryption that help also.
1 word really, Botnets.
Another tip is that a VERY high percentage of software available via bit torrent has malware inserted. Seriously: run downloaded software in a virtual pc / virtualbox or get windows steady state / deepfreeze.
If you have to run LimeWire – put it in a virtual PC.
If you think your machine is suspect and you want to do internet banking then get a BootCD with Ubuntu or Knoppix and use that.
Bittorrent is a protocol, and itself has no security risk.
Just FUD. Notice that they lowered the antivirus and the firewall settings. It’s ONLY THEN that they got big problems.
Using Antivirus, firewall, antispyware and common sense is enough.
Using LimeWire and KaZaa is reckless.
There are tons of free GPL P2P programs that work as good (at the very least) as LimeWire and Kazaa, connecting to the same networks.
AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, Firewall and common sense.
agreed… using kazzaa or limewire is just about retarted… when i used to use it years ago (i knew nothing better back then) i got viruses from pretty much every file i got. Luckily i found torrents
…
is limewire pro safe?…the one ppl pay for?
Wait, what are “trojans” and “worms”?
Thanks for showing me this video by the way! Very informative! ^ _ ^
well if you haven’t figured it out yet a Trojan is a piece of software that installs stuff on your computer and a worms are viruses that multiply by themselves and spread through P2P, Email Ect…
i use Nod32 and ad-aware pro.. this is enough??
Beware! Don’t use Veoh web player beta! My internet get slowdown after installing Veoh Web Player in my computer.
impressive…
Limewire pro does not disable viruses It is a bit faster and better than the original though
Everyone SHOULD USE anti-virus, spyware scanner, and and a firewall program. File sharing CAN be safe, but you do have to be careful.
use a site you trust
like a long lasting social community!
personally i dont trust GNUtella and edonkey
loads of malware
correct me if im wrong plz
i got a spyware from limewire once
Of course you’ll become part of the network if you run that software, if you research the science behind the Gnutella or BitTorrent networks, that’s exactly how they are supposed to work! You aren’t downloading files from some server somewhere, you are joining a network of millions of computers that are all sending and receiving files with the help of one another, It’s called decentralized networking.
This one I want to translate to document of news the Spanish like it do for that this in English?
Mommy! I’m scared!
More fear from the media on behalf of the Hollywood assholes trying to squeeze another billion from the public. I am still not paying. Now, fuck off.
veryyy impressive
:O the end
Backup and reinstall windows… Damn, these ppl are f’ck’n idiots….. Give them a job a tie and call themselves computer experts… let FUD spread!!!
it is called an f’ck’n ID10T error… a damn idiot error.. these people in the news are idiots and spread this shit that is NOT true. .Morons!
