P2P Programs: The Good, the Bad, and the Kazaa-Ugly
Friday, January 12, 2007
I revisited and added some new programs to MalwareRemoval's Safe/Unsafe P2P Programs Listing. If you're a helper at a malware forum, consider looking at it and educating yourself for when you see a program in a log. Feel free to link to it -- it's used as a reference by Firetrust's SiteHound toolbar, and I'd be thrilled to see users avoid suffering the legions of adware that Kazaa installs (at least they're upfront about it), or Warez P2P's unsolicited install of LOP adware, which is a royal pain to get removed.
As far as I know, it's the only list of its kind still updated every so often, and you can expect it to be kept-up a lot more in the future. Many thanks to ChrisRLG for hosting the list and reminding me to keep it updated! Please contact me with any issues about it via the address on the page (Nexus7 [at] malwareremoval [dot] com), but forgive me if I miss your message, as I'm barraged with spam on that account. Better-yet, leave me a comment here!
Letting loose another salvo in the war on malware...
