The Kazaa virus

[Scorp666]

I dunno, I use that cause I can get an update Kazaa that will check that the files aren't Benjamin infected... Kazaa lite was cool but I saw no statement saying it would block Benjamin infected files so I switched to Kazaa Tap.

That is why I gave up on the P2P stuff myself. Not only with the potential for a real virus/DDoS/exploit to be distributed and/or used, but also with the many "anti-groups" whi are getting increasingly antsy on how they are going to thwart the piracy problem:

BSA News
and the related site Computer World News


Since reading these little tidbits, I did not know if this was a scare tactic or if this is really taking place. Call me paranoid, stupid or whatever, but I do not really like the idea of virii and civil/criminal litigation. However, I think the laws and enforcement in general does not have their priorities in order when it comes to these services. I think before focusing on the person getting the hottest mp3, they should be scaveging for pedophiles feeding the habits of sick *******s with kiddie porn. That to me is a bigger and more horrid problem than any piracy.

Just my 2 cents.

whats wrong with kazaa media desktop (1.71) is there something i should know?

Prankster, Kazaa Media Desktop is full of spywares gathering info on what is on you computer and putting it in a database for god knows why... Bonzi Buddy is a spyware tool ans there is the clint spyware within Kazaa... I advise you to get either kazaa lite or kazaa tap to get rid of the junk but keep the functionnality of the program. You should also consider running AdAware on your computer to eradicate spyware... Search for those apps on Google. they are easy to find.
