What can compromise network configuration spread viruses and spyware and allow unauthorized access to data?
P2P, or a peer-to-peer network, can compromise network configuration, spread viruses and spyware, and allow access to unauthorized data. The P2P network allows peers to link together to create the network and share resources. Each computer will have equal rights and access. This leaves an obvious security risk to attacks.
How does spyware get on your computer?
Spyware is usually incorporated in with other software such as a P2P file sharing program similar to Kazaa. BonziBuddy is a well known spyware which was installed this way. The user would install Kazaa, not reading the EULA which gave an option to install BonziBuddy along with the Kazaa software; the user would simply click YES, click NEXT and unknowingly installing BonziBuddy as well. This is why it's important to READ CAREFULLY the directions when installing software.

How do you block p2p?
P2P programs don't have servers, nor do they use a fixed port range. Actually, some p2p programs even encrypt its traffic to avoid monitoring/blocking by signatures. Therefore, to block p2p, you need professional internet filtering products. If you prefer software solution, I will recommend "WFilter Enterprise". http://www.imfirewall.us
