In the words of Soulseek: "Soulseek is an ad-Free, Spyware-free, just plain free file sharing application." (They rely on user support.) The more support a person gives, the higher priority they recieve in the queues. In otherwords: each $5 spot a user shells out gets them closer to being first in line and closer to the music they want.
Why would you want to be first? Well, if you're an electronic/techno/dance music lover, with a soul that has not been able to hone in just yet on that rare mp3 file, than Soulseek might be the place to get it. Some of the download queues rival the longest lines found outside the hottest NYC clubs on a Saturday night. If you slip the Soulseek network some cash you get jumped to the head of the class, and if not all the way to the front, at least a little closer.

ad-aware and spybot are perfect if you have downloaded any file sharing software.

Ad-Aware removes the files that are used by advertising supported software to "call home" and exchange statistical data. The program will list all detected files, removal is optional and may cause some adware programs to quit working. You can build backups easily before removing adware components or fixing your registry. The included backup-manager lets you reinstall a backup with a single mouseclick. You can also specify to ignore certain components, and keep them remaining on your system without triggering an alert each time you scan. The following advertising systems are detected by AdAware: Adware, Alexa, Aureate v1.0,2.0 and 3.0, Comet Cursor v1.0 and v2.0 Cydoor, Doubleclick, DSSAgent, EverAd, OnFlow, Flyswat, Gator, TimeSink v1.0 and v2.0, Web3000 and Webhancer

SpyBot-S&D searches your hard drive for so-called spy- or adbots; little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs display. But many of these modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and more to the net.
If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them. In most cases, the host still runs fine after removing the bot.
For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. The Spybot-S&D interface is so easy, that updates just require replacing a file of about 80k in size.
