Download music

WEFs99 · May 26, 2003

I've heard some scary things about downloading music and catching viruses and spyware but I thought I'd try it anyway. Who can tell me some good sites and how much does it cost? Thanks!

I use WinMX, I found that Kazzaa you get to many crappy files and to many viruses. Although I guess you take that chance with any downloading program.

I use Kazaa and I always make sure Norton 2003 is running strong. Never had any real problems

Morpheus is pretty easy to use. Kinda follows same form as Napster used to use .

If you are going to use Kazaa, you will get a lot of spyware.

Use Kazaa Lite, it uses the same interface, and connects to the same user base. Just no spyware. Not to mention you get some cool "Kazaa cheats".

If you are downloading any programs, always run Spybot or Adaware after installing it. They will find most if not all, spyware.

And always keep your anti-virus software up-to-date.

Hope this helps.

I liked WinMX alot but it got firewalled here on my campus. THen I got Kazaa Lite and I loved it it, it was awesome. But it has been firewalled here now too. I'd go with Kazaa Lite.

I use Kazaa Lite...prevent viruses and spyware with Norton and AdAware.

So far I have downloaded over 400 music files and have yet to get a virus.

I have a couple of thousand files out there, and have yet to get a virus.

I do get a lot more port scans when I have Kazaa-lite running though...Don't know why.

Thanks guys, I'll give kazaa lite a try.

I use Kazaa and Norton 2003 and have yet to get a virus. I think its simpler then winmix too.

i use a couple different sites such as , mirc , kazza winmx and Morpheus

They all have their good and bad as long as you have some kind of internet security program on your computer i wouldnt worry

I use WinMX. I tried KazaaLite but couldn't get it running with my setup(broadband with Linksys wireless router) Have never had a virus but always update my Norton antivirus.
