Nope. As long as you have the community patch you will be fine.
Go here to get it.
It does not contain any spyware/virus thingies.
That doesn't mean you will not find viruses on the winmx network though. As with all p2p programs, you should scan the files you download with an antivirus scanner just to be safe.
Although I've never really heard of an mp3 containing a virus... lol
Also you can search for any file type you wish.

Make sure you get the community patch, otherwise you will be helping the network be attacked with fake files and flooded. Also network attackers have begun to try and "data mine" information off of the network. Help the network by blocking these horrible people by using the community patch! As of currently, the mxpie patch has been deemed inefficient when it comes to blocking these evil people!

What kind of site is WinMX world?
WinMX is a freeware peer to peer file sharing program. It was created in 2000. It is the largest and most up to date WinMX help site in the world. They feature multi-language support.
If you are having connection problems with your WinMX how can you fix it?
Officially speaking, WinMX is defunct. However, you can make it work if you go to the WinMXWorld site and download their WinMX community patch. The original website was seized by the RIAA or whoever, so the original cache hosts no longer exist. The patch forces WinMX to use a new peer cache, allowing it once again to find peers to connect to. However, since the WinMX protocol data has been reverse engineered, there are people deliberately disrupting WinMX much of the time. They found a vulnerability that lets them flood your search results with nearly EVERY file on WinMX, making it unusable to find the files you want to download.
What type of program is winmx?
WinMX is a file sharing program that works on a peer to peer basis. One can share files such as music and video through the software with other users.
Is WinMX legal?
The program WinMx is legal. It allows computers to transfer data to another computer. This, unsurprisingly, is legal. Offering copyrighted material for others to download without permission of the copyright holder is an infringement of copyright. This is a separate thing from using WinMx, though you can use WinMx to do this. You can also use email to do this. Or Windows Live Messenger, etc. Or Bluetooth it from your phone to another phone. Does this make mobile phones illegal? No. Using a program to download and copy copyrighted material without paying a royalty fee is illegal. It is stealing, plain & simple. It's not always as illegal as some think. If you live in Canada your Free and can use it without any worries. However it's illegal in the USA and the UK. A kid in the UK was downloading from a site. The father got fined. This was quite recent (2005). A 14 Year old girl in the UK downloaded 1400 music files. Her mother faces fines of 5000 pounds. Currently, WinMX does not work at all unless you apply certain patches to get it to work. The RIAA had seized the domain and the old cache servers no longer work. However, even after applying the patches, you might not be able to find anything due to attacks on the network. Someone found a vulnerability that will cause the hubs to send you the results of nearly every file on the entire network, thus rendering WinMX mostly useless.
