I know that Win MX is supposed to be spyware free, but my anti-spyware software 'SpySubtract' (which I have been pretty impressed with thus far) identifies it as a threat to my system.  Is WinMX ok?  And if so, then why should SpySubtract 'object' to it?

next Is there any way to remove the dial up tone of an external modem?

i think it sees it as a threat cuz it (win mx)  is software that has p2p networking which  opens certain files on your computer to other users. therefore it is a security threat.

WinMX is 100% spyware free, unlike Limewire and Kazza.........all spyware and firewall type programs will object to a utility like WinMX which tries to access the internet....once you have configured your spyware software to ignore winmx.exe you'll be fine.

I have used WinMX for downloading music for years.
I have never had any rpoblem with spyware, virus's or any other nasty.
It's a great program and can be enhanced by downloading NapMX to get you more servers.
