Hello people. I am using eMule p2p client for a long time already. I dont want to mention why I use it and what I download with the client, I think we all know why. Anyway, I heard rumors that eMule is somehow very risky and full of threats, not by the other peer actually but because of its core version. Is this true? I need some detailed information about this because I really have benefits from eMule. Thank you all.

Hi there. We are or I am really not interested why are you using eMule. In fact, we all do have some sort of application for our own purposes. Dont we? Sophos antivirus experts are saying that eMule works on 4711 port. Trough this port decode base overflow is very active, which can allow anyone who knows how, to use or execute arbitrary code. Therefore, watch your self if you are using 0.42a-d, 0.30e or eMulePlus 1k version.
