Can a P2P application cause my computer to share files or provide access to my personal information, even if I didn set it up to do so?
Personal information that is stored in your computer files may unintentionally be made available to others by installing and running a file-sharing application that includes spyware. Some P2P applications make your computer accessible as a computing or storage resource for use by outside entities, including file-sharing networks. Make sure that you know which files and data your P2P application can access and make available to others.
