Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on Kazaa. I'm thinking of registering with it but have heard about spyware and stuff like that.
I'm on a broadband connection, but I do have a firewall program.
Is it safe, and has anyone had any bad experiences with it? (I mean REALLY bad).
Thanks for your time,
Rob

Thanks in advance!

Only way to avoid spyware is to get Kazaa Lite AND scan with AdAware regularly.
My dad has got KaZaA and he took the spyware off. Its not the Lite version.
Dunno how he did it but I was impressed.
:-D

That's because Kazaa Lite IS Kazaa, but some fonkeh dood has patched it so it doesn't contain spyware.

That's because Kazaa Lite IS Kazaa, but some fonkeh dood has patched it so it doesn't contain spyware.

They can view all your websites and have probably got your email adresses now!
That's what happened to me, and the little program called winserv kept trying to connect to the net to allow some dodgy pop-ups to load!
winserv crashed everytime on the SR forums and my comp never shut down properly!
I got Adaware and now everything loads quickly, I had loads of the stuff there!

Well i'm probably the first person thats happened to, I somehow managed to bodge part of my PC up, luckily no one knows :D KaZaA is a good program.
Thanks for the info!
