Hi,
As someone mentioned in another post, there is a difference between "adware"
and "ad aware". The latter is a program that removes adware from your
computer. Adware is annoying software that is installed on your computer and
monitors what your web habits are, what sort of searches you do, among other
things. When you install the free version of Ares P2P, there is some adware
that is installed on your computer. This is why I was interested in purchasing
the Pro version, which supposedly would allow you to uses Ares without the
adware. But since I never got a response from the makers of this software, I
can't verify this. So I decided to pass on purchasing it. Now I'm looking for
another similar P2P client that works with Jaws.

Hi all,
With this program, during installation, if you take careful notice of what
it is installing, you can choose not to install the programs which are adware.
I am using this, and have weeded out programs which are additional adware to
the actual p to p program.
Hope this helps.

Hi Everybody,
I had mentioned before how I liked Ares P2P as an Jaws accessible P2P
application. While that's still true, I can't recommend anyone purchasing the
Pro version. I've sent a couple of emails with questions to the makers of the
software and I've yet to get a response from them. I wanted them to answer my
questions first before I purchased the Pro version from them. It's too bad
too because I really like the software. While the free version works very
well, it installs adware and I don't care for that at all. Oh well, back to
the drawing board I guess.
Michael
