Well, there are a lot of peer to peer programs to use in these days, right?
But what about security and programs alike? Every peer to peer based program requires firewall review to be removed over it. So how that can be safe? I mean whos from the other side?

What is safe and secured today? Practically nothing. Virus, trojan, spyware, malware, ad-aware? Whats the worst of these things? Take a look at Windows Media Player. What do you think is it some kind of spyware? I think it is. One of core media components from Windows it self. So, why should Kazaa or Limewire make any difference? Practically, if you dont put your self some kind of trojan, required for particular program to work, but instead of registered as trojan, registered as some kind of .dll, there is no sharing. My advice is to avoid those p2p programs, and try to use torrents instead. Think about this. And say to your self, there is no protection. Be sure 100 of the fact.
