Im using an old version of DAP, not at home so dont have the version number, and have never had any spyware come up on it. Maybe it is just the newest version.

I like to use a little freeware program called "Freshdownload" It's really pretty small, even integrates with Opera, and has no spyware. That last emphasized a bit .

You can find it here:
