The remote Windows host contains a peer-to-peer filesharing application. Ares Fileshare is installed on the remote host. Ares Fileshare is a P2P application that supports connecting to several P2P networks; eg, Gnutella and OpenFT. It may not be suitable for use in a business environment. Some versions suffer from remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, and the product has been discontinued and is no longer supported
