Olin Valden Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 whats the point of it?? so easy to block, Disable Pop-ups for any program other then IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupO'Coffee Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 AFAIK the spyware contains more than just pop-ups, it's a .dll file that sends user realted information to the kazaa guys (sherman networks owns kazaa so i think the info goes to them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbuckeye21 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 From what I've heard, it's pretty much impossible to block all of the spyware. That's why I use KaZaA Lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GidionTheDead Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Just search the internet (Yahoo) for: "Kazaa Spyware dll cracked" (or something like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneCanoli Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 I stopped using Kazaa once I read about thespyware in it. I just don't want other people knowing what I do on my computer... [face_innocent.gif] But seriously, I just started using Grokster, a direct clone of Kazaa/Morpheus with different colors. I'll have to check out this Kazaa Lite though.

Kyth'emos Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 problem with adaware is that if you remove the spyware from kazaa it wont run so you have to get kazza lite and then tell adaware to ignore the dummy dll file.

They know your email oh no! What are they gonna do? Uh Monkey, I'm glad you don't program software. In addition to credit card info, there's SPAM (ARGH!), and eating up cpu clock cycles. I don't think anyone should have that sort of control over someone else. Yes, people need to make money, but not that way, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
