Here are some safety tips/guideline user may use if they want to share resources:
- Set up the file-sharing software very carefully, checking the proper settings so that other users won't have access to your private files.
- Adjust the file-sharing program's controls so that it is not connected to the P2P network all the time. Some file-sharing programs automatically open every time you turn on your computer.
- Consider installing anti-spyware software. Some file-sharing programs install spyware that can monitor your browsing habits and send that data to third parties.
- Use anti-virus software and a firewall and update them regularly. Files you download using a P2P network could be mislabeled, hiding a virus or other unwanted content.
