Ares Vista And P2P Security
Ares Vista was originally developed to solve the problems many Ares users were having with Windows Vista’s new security measures. People still to this day are under the impression that there is a problem with their version of Ares; in fact Ares is not ‘broken’. The problem lies in the way that Ares communicates with Windows Vista. Unfortunately, many people are missing out because they do not realize that the issue can be solved just by installing Ares Vista.
The Vista release of Windows’ operating system introduced many new measures. One of these new features was the UAC (User Access Control) which closely regulated the freedom most user-installed programs had. Unfortunately one of these regulations directly affected the way the Ares filesharing software connected to the network. In a nutshell, Ares was no longer able to work properly.
Before Ares Vista was born, many Ares support technicians were advising that the users turn off the Windows Vista UAC. Given that the UAC is a critical part of the Windows Vista operating system, the move seems a little foolhardy, to say the least.
Fortunately Ares Vista followed Windows Vista almost without a pause: some clever people had identified the problem and quickly formulated a solution. Thousands of people downloaded Ares Vista with a sigh of relief, and life was good again. The problems quickly went away and show no signs of rearing their ugly heads again.
It is notable that many other versions of Ares still have not developed a comparable solution. The original Ares version, Ares Galaxy, is losing its once faithful users in droves simply because they cannot seem to get connected (and these problems appear to extend much further than just a Windows Vista incompatibility). Ares has made itself the market leader and ,with agility and willingness to change like this, there is no wonder why.
