P2P Advice
Copyright Infringement
Some files contained on these networks are copyrighted works, like popular games, movies, music, and software. P2P software makes it possible to upload and download copyrighted material from the Internet without proper authorization, but that can violate copyright laws and subject you to criminal and civil penalties.
Data Security
P2P software allows any user to access the files you place or move into your shared folder. If you're not careful, files containing your personal and confidential information could inadvertently be uploaded for distribution on the Internet. This could cause a number of problems, including identity theft. We strongly suggest purchasing one of the major spy ware applications available or visit our bonus software section for a free version.
Spy ware
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software may contain spy ware that can track your online activity, control your computer, or harm its operation. These files typically are disguised and can go undetected. We strongly suggest purchasing one of the major spy ware applications.
Viruses
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software may carry computer viruses, worms, or Trojans that can damage your computer, or cause other problems. These files typically are mislabelled to disguise their true purpose. We strongly suggest purchasing one of the major anti-virus applications.
