Not all Bearshare programs have spyware. I believe the lite version (& I think the pro version) don't have. But beware of the spyware utility you use to check p2p sharing programs. Some just don't work properly & detect the magnets & http help links as being spyware .... one spyware program that does work properly is Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE) & I guess you can also add ad-ware (FREE) to the list for a good combination.

Shareaza is a good program afaik, but it's abilities on the gnutella network (it refers to it as Gnutella 1) are not so good.

LimeWire can be very good if you learn the small tricks of how to use it. There's certainly lots of Stickys around the LW sections of the forum to help with any problems & the most commonly asked questions.

Others, Frostwire which is next to the same as LW. There's also Phex which includes detailed information for the user. Perhaps not as user friendly for the novice though. But it's still a very good program.
