iMesh Spyware

damn well my friend told me how great he loved iMesh program so I gave it a try without knowing it contained Spyware! I knew this because my Firewall started detecting all these connections to shopathome and other junk places so I used Ad-Aware and it detected 62 objects... but one thing that I'm still suspicious of is this file FSG_4104.exe I tried searching it but no results, What is it? Is there anything else I should be aware of that Ad-Aware might not detect?

Anyways that program sucked so I uinstalled it but even that won't help unless you have Spyware cleaning tools.

No problem. Yeah, I used it when it first came out and just decided to quit using it. I think they started to have legal issues too or something but then yeah my stupid friend said the new version was suposably good so I decided to give it a try again but it just got even more gay. Definitely boycott this app for good.

NEVER GET iMESH!
Its the worst P2P program because its full of spyware, it screwed my 2K a while back because of it being full of crap. If I really like iMesh (which I dont) I would get the Lite version, same in Kazaa, I would never ever either get the normal Kazaa, because of spyware. Kazaa Lite I must say is the best P2P program out there IMO. Great you come up with this Namie so that other people can be aware of it.

I really like iMesh, but for your own sake, get the spyware-free version from www.drdamn.com (it's sometimes down for a few days, then reappears). It's like Kazaa Lite, same software without the ads/spywares.
