eXeem is a new P2P program for the exchange of torrents. The release version contains spyware.

eXeem is a new P2P program designed to exchange torrents. In someways it is related to the old suprnova site before it was closed down.

By being P2P itself, this new program should allow for the safer exchange of torrent information. In theory… anyway.

The makers of eXeem (like Kazaa) have decided to make money on their program by bundling spyware with it. You can not install eXeem without installing the spyware.

The spyware it installs is cydoor and is easily removed by most spyware removal programs.

“Lite” hacks of eXeem will be coming out as well…. much like the old Kazaa lite versions in which the spyware progies were hacked out and released.

One potential source for obtaining a “lite” version of eXeem is here:
