![]() [noparse] I would be really careful with this software. It's possible that it contains a backdoor for spammers and it is very unlikely that any "Anti-Virus" software could detect a backdoor especially not in a P2P software which connects to everywhere and gets contacted from everywhere. There is a lot of link spamming going on the web (especially wikis and guestbooks) from random seemingly infected hosts. Such a software would be pretty perfect to hide a proxy backdoor in. Well, softpedia claims this software is 100% clean "which means it does not contain any form of malware, including but not limited to: spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors." But this is really nonsense. Nobody can guarantee that. Even if they read the source which they did not, there can be well-placed "bugs" that can be exploited by the authors and which would be extremely hard to find by anyone else. Thus, two thumbs down to SoftPedia for claiming such dangerous nonsense. By the way, the screenshot are pretty funny: http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/aimini-P2P-software-Screenshot-5666.html Note the ads in the first and "AddressGrabber Business" in the second. host www.aimini.net www.aimini.net has address 205.209.185.94 $ whois 205.209.185.94 OrgName: Managed Solutions Group, Inc.

You don't find much, but what you find is nasty stuff. |
