Can anyone suggest a spyware & adware free MP3 download program?
Songspy or Gnucleus would be the best bet in my oppinion.
All those music sharing programs are security risks.
By installing it, you are setting up your computer
as a server. If you don't use strong security measures,
don't be surprised if funny stuff begins to happen.
:cool:
I use WinMx,however,keep your Anti-virus & Trojan software updated!!
Run them DAILY!!
tons of fun ;)
kazaa lite, it's kazaa without the spyware.

I'm pretty sure most napster clones are all going to contain spyware!!! Here some that I have used.
Kazaa
WinMX
LimeWire(this one sucks, best bet is winmx)
Make sure your firewall is on, and don't download any supiscouse files!!!!!
NOTE: SongSpy is good, has spyware, but that is easily removed with AdAware.Quote:
Kazaa Lite is also excellent IMO.
i use irc.
[and hotline sometimes.]
i would have to agree with rcgreen, in saying that "those music sharing programs are security risks."
I'll suggest songspy. I've used it for a _long_ time, and it's perfect. Best thing is it doesn't allow the person sharing the files to cancel their uploads... making it harded for you to get partials and cut off in the middle.

Audiognome is essentially an OpenNap client. I've used it *successfully* for about a year or so.
What about Morpheus? Is that spyware too? By the way, I'm using Kazaa so I'm definitely going to switch to one of the programs mentioned here or maybe Morpheus if it isn't adware. Thanks for the info, everyone.
i use direct connect -
althought u have to search for songs etc -- its very good - u can find almost anything !
Kazaa lite rocks

I agree that kazaa lite is an excellent choice, but their content has left much to be desired in the last few months..... Take a look at w*w.infoanarchy.org for some more alternatives. They still have Morpheus up on the list, even though the new interface sux pretty badly since it went to the Gnutella netword from Fastrak network, but oh well..... IRC is also a great one, but finding the right channels that you don't get k-lined off of is a tough one if you aren't fairly saavy.
That might help some.
another vote for kazaalite. IRC for getting the latest movies.
Want to get rid of the spyware and adware and still be able to use the program? Go to http://beam.to/spybotsd and click the english link to the left...Then download SpybotSearch&Destroy . It hunts down spyware and adware (finds stuff that ad-aware misses), removes it, and inserts a 'dummy' program (not a trojan, I scanned it) to keep software that is dependent on adware up and running. A very usefull utility.
