well..... not just p2p software but most of the freeware contains some kind of ad ware. ad ware are used to monitor users' surfing habits and send targeted ads; they can't be considered a real threat to personal security. for example, a lot of fuss is made about kazaa ad ware when it is not that big a deal.

KaZaA Media Desktop regularly downloads an index which contains a list of available rights-managed files and can in no way alter KaZaA Media Desktop or any other part of your computer. KaZaA Media Desktop downloads this file without collecting any information about you or your computer.for more details u can log on http://kazaa.com/en/privacy/privacystatement.htm#Anchor-Altnet-47857

Get WinMx it's much better and has no AD Ware. Also get the free software AdAware which finds Ad Ware on your computer and deletes it if you want. Be careful though as some applications won't run if you delete the Ad Ware that comes with it.
