What should I know about Peer-to-Peer (P2P) File-sharing Software
P2P file sharing software applications often install Spyware and/or viruses onto your PC when you sign up for their service. Another reason to be cautious of P2P is that the files you may be swapping and sharing (photos, music, videos or games) often contain Spyware and/or viruses.
Many P2P file sharing software applications are set to share files without your knowledge. This can lead to slowness issues, as well as put you at risk for Copyright Infringements.
