So what is the best way to keep others from accessing stuff on my comp while using P2P? I mean, I've got a firewall. What else do you need?

I have PeerGuardian but don't use it. I have spyware stuff.

It's all in how you set it up,When setting it up they usually ask you if you want to scan your computer for file's to share with other's,That is where people screw up,They just hit yes without defining what folder's to look in then it scan's for just about everything from document's to mp3's and pic's,Make sure you only share what you want to share
