Kazaa=BAD trojans

[Chris]

I heard from a friend that Kazaa has started to use trojans. A company has been putting its file into Kazaa, and then it will ask you (yet to happen) if you will allow your computer to essentially be a bitch in giant network. It would even use your processor power to do work for other companies!!!!

This is a major piss-off, but you can say no. Even so, when it happens, I'm going to back up Kazaa, then selectively delete 'suspicous' files in it, and keep only the ones I need. I heard the name of the file that this network uses, its just in your Kazaa directory. So I would suggest finding it and killing it

Here are some links (the first is related, but not directly so)

I use kazaalite. It has no spyware.

If you want to get rid of the network thing, go to add/remove programs, and get rid of the B3D Projector. IT does nothing good for you.

You will have to do more than that. Kazaa has spyware built into the program itself. Try graduating and go to something like www.neo-modus.com or use private ftp's.
