That's weird. I thought that eDonkey just served ads through html. There's a clean version of Overnet, but I'm not sure what the URL to the clean client is.

You can always use eMule instead. It's open source and it doesn't have spyware or ads.

You don't have to install the spyware you know. Just uncheck them when installing.

Neither older overnet or the newest edonkey2000 have any hidden spyware. If you got some you either thought you unchecked all the third party applications during installation and didn't or you got it from somewhere else. As I said there is no hidden spyware or ad-aware.

There is a rare bug in edonkey installer causing it to install bundled third-party software even if you de-select it..

So in a way there's a possibility of hidden spyware...

This is the first time I've read about this bug. Fortunately, I've never had this problem. I stand corrected and hopefully it's fixed soon.
