I've run Windows Defender and it detected one item - iMesh, which it described as being of medium risk.
Should I be concerned, and what action should I take?

All p2p programs are a risk because you never know what your downloading for sure. It basically opens your computer up to god only knows what. Also some of the p2p programs themselves are viruses/spyware. I would uninstall it.

get rid of it. both M$ Defender and wikipedia classify iMesh as adware. if you want a good G1 or G2 client, then get Shareaza

µTorrent is a really nice program but it doesn't support G1 or G2. although i like BitTorrent more.
