It's the same as using Kazaa, nothing is 100% safe

Not actually safe, but slightly faster than kazaa lite. I can't figure out what's going on with all those buttons and colours but at least i'm getting my stuff, so I can't complain. Or actually I can, but I won't.

NO! It's NOT safe! I BITE! >.<

But seriously... nothing that's illegal is safe so it's up to you.

Don't listen to these people. It's quite safe to use it if you're referring to the bundled spywarez that Kazaa has. WinMX doesn't have those and is more efficient. Plus it logs you in different random servers to protect your identity further.

angelo you don't know what ur talking about so I suggest you stop spreading rumors like this and let a professional do the job.

P2P is very dangerous by theses days, it's getting as dangerous as chatting on IRC servers. A lot of hackers use P2P programs to spread viruses on the net because a lots of users are using them and a lots of files are being downloaded and uploaded everydays so it's almost (but still) impossible to trace back someone who sent viruses by P2Ps. You can use Kazaa or Win-MX if you want but before you do I suggest you :

1) Use an Internet Firewall

2) Get Computer Updates

3) use Up-to-Date Antivirus Sofware
