Shareaza.com Scam Site

As we previously posted, the website now seen at shareaza.com is no longer owned by the developers of the Shareaza P2P Application or any party involved in its development. Rather, it is managed and run by a group who is intent on manipulating the innocent user into downloading their malware application. In regards to this a new development has recently surfaced. Old versions of Shareaza accessed information available at the address 'update.shareaza.com' in order to learn if a new version was available and subsequently request to upgrade. Now that this domain is in the hands of a 3rd party with hostile intentions they have recreated this address and now feed false information to versions of Shareaza that access the site requesting for upgrade data. These older versions of Shareaza then report that an upgrade is available and inform the user to download it from the false site at shareaza.com. This is of course a ploy and any and all users of an outdated version of Shareaza (6 months old and older) must be informed of this.

 

If you know of anyone using an older version then please let them know that the current official website for Shareaza is shareaza.sf.net and that they should not upgrade Shareaza using its built in upgrade function unless it is one of the latest official open source versions. The loss of the shareaza.com domain happened under most unfortunate circumstances and hopefully in due time everyone will be aware of the switch in the address.
