New to the Internet?
(if not, proceed to the bottom of this
page to download WinMX)
Here are some important facts to keep in mind
while online:
Offensive and/or graphic material is present
on the internet.
Whether you use the WWW, UseNet, Email, IRC, or P2P to find information, there
is always a chance you could be exposed to very offensive material. Young
people should always have the guidance and supervision of a responsible adult
when using the internet.
Do not run executable files downloaded from
any untrusted source.
A malicious executable file could erase data from your system, do serious damage
to your software configuration, compromise your privacy, and affect other
systems connected to yours. An anti-virus scan is not always enough to
guarantee a file isn't malicious. Fortunately most newer WWW, UseNet, Email,
IRC, and P2P clients (including WinMX) have features
to guard against accidentally downloading executable file types.
Playing/viewing media files or documents from
unknown or untrusted sources could be dangerous.
This applies to files you obtain online from sources such as the WWW, UseNet,
Email, IRC, or P2P, as well as files you obtain offline from sources such as
data CDs and DVDs. Some file players and viewers (especially older ones) have
bugs which may make them vulnerable to a malicious data-pattern within a media
file. A compromised media player or file viewer can be just as dangerous to
your system as a malicious executable file. Make sure your media-player and
file-viewer software is always up-to-date.
The internet is not 100% anonymous.
Anytime you connect to any other system, whether it be via the WWW, UseNet,
Email, IRC, or P2P, that connection is made using something called "Internet
Protocol" or I.P. for short. Every connection over IP involves your IP
address. An IP address is a 32-bit number that is unique to every internet
connection. While an IP address does not directly identify exactly who is on
the other end, it does identify the Internet Service Provider (or ISP for short)
responsible for that address. Most ISPs log their individual user's IP address
assignments.
The internet is a public place.
Just like when you are physically standing in a public place, if you act
irresponsibly online (such as harassing others or copyright violations), whether
it be via WWW, UseNet, Email, IRC, or P2P, there may be consequences. While
online you may also be exposed to other individuals who are acting in an
irresponsible manner. NEVER disclose personal information or passwords to
someone online unless you are 100% certain it is safe. ALWAYS be familiar with
your WWW/UseNet/Email/IRC/P2P browser software (especially Ignore/Blocking
features) before you use it.
The makers of your internet client/browser
software do not control the content viewed through it.
The programmers that make your WWW/UseNet/Email/IRC/P2P client/browser
software are no more able to control the content viewed through it than the
people that make your TV set, radio, or photocopier are able to control their
use. The makers of WinMX only make software, and do
not control any internet sharing or indexing servers of any kind.
WinMX uses purely decentralized internet protocols,
information and searches are hosted, indexed, and routed purely between end-user
computers without assistance of any kind. If you share files using
WinMX P2P software, it is purely from your computer.
WinMX from
winmx.com does not contain ANYTHING besides
WinMX.
No spyware or other parasite programs will ever be in our software. We respect
your privacy and security.
