The point is I want to avoid it in the first place. Some full discosure of the fact that spyware exisits in iMesh would of been nice.

I-Mesh tells you it has spyware, specifically Gator and other stuff when you install. But if you run spybot you'll clean up the system and i-mesh will continue working. kazaa also installs spyware, including gator but if you run spybot to clean your system kazaa won't work anymore.

WinMx works well for my needs. No spyware.

I gave up on all of em. Aside from security and ethical issues, it was just too damned hard to find anything I wanted.

Kazaa lite runs without spyware.

I'm a limewire fan.But more importantly, I'm a mac user.Hackers,viruses,RIAA...why do they want to bother with less than 3% of all computer users?Think different.

jaguar · 03-21-2004, 11:25 PM

dude, I use a mac too. Doesn't matter for the RIAA what you run, keep that in mind.

Radar · 03-22-2004, 09:29 AM

I would never admit I use a Mac in public. I prefer computers to toys.

I like Acquisition for the Mac, personally. Might even pay to register it, someday.
