is the Shareaza P2P file sharing/downloading client clean of adware and viruses and other bundeled crap like that?? hopefully it isnt as bad as Warez (!) i tried it and had to spend nearly a month and five or six safe-mode starts and like a billion virus spyware trojqan scanners to clean the crap IT put on my system.

I have the following security:

- Spybot S&D
- Ad-Aware SE
- Zone Alarm firewall
- AVG Free edition

A) is Shareaza clean (viruses spyware trojans etc)
B) if not what kind of stuff is bundled with it (downloaded from home page not a 3rd party site)

is it recommended P2P client? if not what is?

I drive an awesome 1972 Trans Am 455 Super Duty that gets about 8-10mpg, but thats a small price to pay for such awesomeness.
