That will depend upon what you are downloading wont it?
If what you are downloading contains malicious content without your knowledge,then you cant blame ares or for that matter any P2P software can ya?
As seen many a times there are trojans/scumware hiding within files,normally just file extensions are changed to make it appear as though its some image file but infact it can be a executable or something on similar lines.
So the bottom line P2P software is[read can be,kazaa comes to mind] safe but what you download from them always isnt.

What Digen said is true, everything depends on what you download.
But there is another thing that should be added, popular P2P clients like Kazaa, Imesh, Grokster bundle spyware with it, whether you want it or not, they would install these Spywares. As of now, Ares is not known to bundle any Spywares with. May be this was what you were asking!!

Hmm, its not that no one at the forum knows. Its just that no one at the forums will give you links for downloading illegal music videos and MP3 files. Try MP3.com for legal music file downloads. Please do not make such requests again.
