Winmx has been around for about 3 years yes it exist. Yes it has spyware.
Also when using it your ip address is exposed. Also usually once you install
it you will get alot of people trying to get inot your system through your
open ports.

Is it Linuxable that I could not tell you it was not originally designed for
Linux when it was first out look at the name.

Also right now the RIAA is now going after them as well.
