dunno, thats just what i heard.

I heard all the rumours, but not being one to follow others advice, i decided to give it a go... subsequently i have found;

1. No spyware/adware/viruses of any kind in any file or the program itself (also no ads on the program)
2. All the files i have downloaded (about 10gb) have been genuine.
3. Exeem runs about 10 x faster than i could get any bittorrent client to run on any of my 3 machines.

So my advice is this:

Give it a go... You'll never know until you try it yourself!

It would not find anything I tried to search for. Should change it to alpha instead of beta. Also installs winmx, how 2001

After uninstalling and of course before reading the post about Cydoor, ran a adware scan and huh, detected cydoor, huh, imagine that.
Makes me not want to trust the e-mail I get from afterdawn without reading the posts

How does that saying go? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is? Well, from what I have been reading about eXeem that seems to be the case here. I absolutely HATE ad aware and spyware!! I think they are so intrusive. If I want to use their services, I'll seek them out, they don't need to come to me. So, it makes me leary to use anything or go to any place that needs to use these tactics. What makes them think we want to use them after they have come on our computer without asking us in the first place?

How many people have actually scanned their machines and found the Cydoor spyware component?

If spyware is gonna be a problem, I think its worth skipping.

Sad to see a good technology be waste on spyware. I did download it and it does have Cydoor. Probably a good thing eXeem didn't get "released" before Suprnova was shutdown. I would stay away fromthat site if I knew that the people behind it were ad/spyware supporters.

How many of you that have tried Exeem actually scanned for the Cydoor spyware before installing?

I have scanned after install and it is not on my systems, so how can a claim be made without benchmarking first?

Also it may be wise to point out that there is an optional sponser install included (please note OPTIONAL) which comes in the form of a toolbar... Renowned for holding spyware.

I'd suggest that you give it try, but run Spyware first to see if you have cydoor as this is one of the most common forms of spyware around! If you scan after and find spyware - Uninstall it!!

But don't judge it by others opinions, as they are rarely correct!!!

Good point SirFrench, why don't you download eXeem and let us all know what you think and see if you find any fake files and of course spyware and adaware.

Uhhh, maybe you need to get a reliable spyware scanning app, SirFrench...Exeem does have spyware! End of story. If you remove it, the app does still work though. I really dont like it as much as BearShare or Shareaza when it comes to p2p apps.

I updated my adaware, newest version i might add and scanned my pc . I have exeem installed and it found nothing . thats all i know

DVDeviant - I have Spybot S&D and Adaware SE, both of which are up to date with all the latest definitions. I didn't install the sponser toolbar, which, if you read my earlier post, you will see is the assumption for the source of the spyware. The question i pose is as such;
Have you got Exeem installed? Did you check spyware levels before install and re test after install? And what was the outcome?
As for not liking it, you have to remeber that it is only a beta version at present and therefore the network is not fully operation. However; the volume of peers is rapidly increasing.
Although bound by the same constraints as Kazaa, the benefits being that; using swarns, you rarely get fake files, (of which i have got none)and viruses are more scarce than satanic cults in the vatican.

I think that rjgat420 has proved the point of having installed Exeem and finding no Spyware.

Whichever choice is made, i suppose that the bottom line is whether or not you are willing to try new software and how you go about the install.

Well, I really cant blame them, as far as they let you delete the spyware is fine by me, i know how to do it and im pretty sure that whoever doesnt know how to erase it is probably anyway going to get infecting when searching in google "free mp3 downloads" hahahahaha i've seen it so many times, or while looking for a crack in some spyware infested site, even me knowing of that risks sometimes have no choice but to get in to some of those sites in a desperate search, so finally if it lets me get good legitimate files with a decent speed, and in the comments of a file as long as people take the time at least to say how it worked for them its good enough for me, i mean we are in a war right now against the mpaa and RIAA or however you spell it, were not in a situation to complain for every single detail, at the end our options are little and are becomming less by the minute.

For those who think Exeem does not contain Cydoor...check your system32 folder and you find a folder titled adcache....

And if you dont believe that then dl Spybot or Microsoft Spyware...both will find Cydoor.

And if thats not good enough for you go in to your registry..currentuser/software/Exeem/cache.

It does contain Cydoor....I have not found any false files on exeem, but I dont waste time DL movies anymore since I have a DVD burner....found tons of music and software that is genuine.

those who are using exeemlite...that does not have spyware or Cydoor.

Lastly read the dadgum article about exeem.

"...eXeem™ contains NO SPYWARE. eXeem™ is free and IS AD-SUPPORTED."

Last and final......
For those still lying to themselves about Exeem and Cydoor.....install exeem and when you get to the license agreement scroll down and find read that you are installing Cydoor on you pc.

What I found is that everytime you load Exeem it loads the cydoor files. To stop Exeem for making an adcache folder with cydoor files first turn off Exeem, go to c:\windows\system32 and delete the folder called adcache and make a text file with no extention called adcache that is read only and place it in c:\windows\system32\ Exeem will no longer make an adcache folder.

long agao in the good old day's of supernova i could get Dvd-r's (4 gig in size) with menu's and the whole 9 yards...

i just tryed today that exeem and all i find is dvd-rips of movies in AVI files. any idea how i can find some good old fashioned pirated moves that go straight on dvd?

imput welcomed!!

KimChi - pay a visit to The Pirate Bay...lots of DVD ready movies there.

I installed Exeem 0.23 a few days ago, scanned it for spyware with adaware (newest version) and Search and Destroy (also newest version) and they found nothing

I did as posted above check out the system32 folder and didn't find the mentioned file, I also checked the registry and didn't find the mentioned thing there either

There's one thing that annoys me about the app though: Because I have a popup killer (?) activated it wont let me download with more than 5 kB/s... I wont stop the popup killer for this so is there another way? Like having a crack or something?

wow.i downloaded it about two weeks ago,and fireworks went off on my spyware.it took me 15 mins to get all that crap off my pc.

I don't get it??? There is a contradiction here (unless I am losing my mind here, and that could very well be possible), but some say there is adaware and some there isn't. Because of everyone saying different things I haven't "yet" tried eXeem on my computer.

yea eXeem contains spyware use eXeem lite.

I just read when you try eXeem lite you have to fill in a serial number. Has anyone experienced this before?

---

Well when I tried it out it did contain spyware that is what ad-aware detected especially Cydoor. Now with the newer version it is saying install this spyware on your pc or we will cut your download speed. what a joke, I Hope that when the final comes out they free it of spyware or i will just hope that this failed project dies a fast death

I thought that msg just ment that your browser shouldn't block popup msgs or such...

to everyonewho disses eXeem, this is an interesting article thatmay change your mind.
