Only tried out one, and got Tibick. Wasn't HARD to clean out, but
would rather NOT do that again!
How to virus check morpheus, limwire, etc??? Was running AVG Free at
time...
you scan the files you download before you open/execute/whatever
them... same as if you were trying to virus check your downloads from a
website...
in fact, from a security point of view, you can basically treat p2p
downloads the same as you would downloads from a website you've just
visited for the first time and never heard of before... in other words,
the source of the files are such that you have no information on which
to base judgments about how trustworthy the files may be so they have
to be deemed untrustworthy...
simply scanning them is one way, but you may find that it's to your
benefit to stick them in a holding directory for a couple weeks so that
your anti-virus has time to catch up with anything that you downloaded
when it was brand-spanking-new... still another way to go is to simply
avoid downloading the more problematic types of content (application
software, office documents, etc)...
you have to also accept that viruses will still get through some of the
time... it doesn't matter what you do, there's only so much you can do
to limit your exposure to threats, especially when you're going out of
your way to get untrustworthy content...
