P2P Warning!

IMPORTANT

Please note that as long as you are using any form of Peer-to-Peer networking and downloading files from non-documented sources there is a high probability that you will be infested with malware.

Once upon a time, P2P file sharing was fairly safe. That is no longer true. You may continue to use P2P sharing at your own risk; however, please keep in mind that this practice may be the source of your current malware infestation.

References for the risk of these programs can be found in these links:

We would recommend that you uninstall these P2P programs, however that choice is up to you. If you choose to remove these programs, you can do so in the Control Panel via Add/Remove Programs. If you have Vista it's Programs and Features.

However in order for us to provide future assistance on this matter you must remove the P2P first as it would be fruitless to continue unless the possible cause is ruled out first and to prevent future infestations.
