We just got a new CD burner and I'm wondering which music file site is best. I've read several reviews of different ones that say they cause system crashes or contain spy ware, so I'm trying to find one that won't cause us any problems.
Thanks in advace for any input on this.:) |

| I use WinMX. After you download the WinMX software to your desktop, you tell it where you want downloaded files to be stored on your harddrive and this location is share-able for others. I set mine up to go to c:\temp\winmx. |

WinMX
Kazaa be sure to get the Lite version no spyware. |

Download Polaris v2.0 and get on IRC. It's so much better than Kazaa in my opinion. You can find complete zipped albums. |

Several mentions of WinMX in this thread. Thought you all should see the following from the current (January 21, 2003) issue of The Spyware Weekly newsletter:

Trojan makes its way through the WinMX network
http://www.spywareinfo.com/yabbse/i...y;threadid=3102
Anyone using the WinMX file sharing application needs be aware of a new trojan in the wild that seems to be targeted specifically at the WinMX network. This trojan is being identified as Win32.Glimp trojan by ETrust anti-virus, Trojan.Win32.WinMXtrojan.10 by Kaspersky anti-virus, and Trojan.Win32.WinMXp2p by Gladiator anti-virus.
On an infected machine, the WinMX trojan will copy Word documents, text files, .ini files, batch files, etc into a special directory, then change their extensions to .avi. This directory is then shared on the network by the WinMX peer to peer application. By adding the victim's WinMX login name to the attacker's "Hotlist" and then selecting "Browse", the attacker can browse through and download every file that has been copied into the directory.
I can't find a whole lot of information about this trojan. At this point, all I can suggest is to keep updating your anti-virus software and to double-check what are in the folders you are sharing through WinMX and other peer to peer programs. No matter which anti-virus software you have and no matter which peer to peer program you use, always scan newly downloaded files before you run them. Always.
