Is it safe to use this Application?
As it is with all P2P networks, there are some risk factors associated with downloading certain files, but not if you know some security basics and have good Antivirus protection. You'll want to avoid any files that appear at the top of the search results and seem to possess a very high number of peers. These are typically known as "fake files". Another situation that should immediately throw up a red flag is when you are trying to download music in MP3 format, and the file extension you are looking at ends in ".exe" Exe files shared amongst P2P networks which are disguised as music or movie files are always dangerous and we encourage you to steer clear of them. Other than that, as long as you have a decent Anti-Virus solution, you should be safe from the majority of threats being posed out there on the Ares network.
