Morpheus Infiltrates Other P2P Networks

Posted by simoniker on from the nobody-is-safe dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Morpheus was the number one post-Napster P2P app until Sharman Networks took over KaZaa and got them bumped off the FastTrack network. Now Morpheus is back on FastTrack, according to MP3NewsWire, tapping into it and the other leading networks through a beta of the NEOnet technology in the just-released version 4. Thomas Mennecke over at Slyck speaks more about it with Michael Weiss, CEO of StreamCast Networks." prostoalex also points to a ZDNet article discussing this new version of Morpheus, and notes the Download.com warning that: "Third-party applications bundled with this download may record your surfing habits, deliver advertising, collect private information, or modify your system settings."

    It really is time to just run *everything* inside a virtual machine. Got a virus? Who cares. It's just a virtual virus - all your data is backed up to a safe, real partition which you don't boot from. Perhaps you could alter whatever network card related data reveals who you are so each time you boot up and connect to the net you look like someone else.
