Kazaa Vulnerable??

hey! kazaa lite works!though i also have had a couple of trojans from it!now a days i use just 2 download text and pdf files!

Ah, I know that Kazaa make your computer vulnerable in many ways whether it's the actual program or maybe that you never know what virus is attatched to what file. If you are going to use Kazaa you better have an AntiVirus Software. Also the spyware.... geez... www.realphx.com/remove.htm if you scroll down to the bottom of the screen and download the FIX.EXE (CLICKING HERE) link it's a program called Hijack which scans your registry for unwanted entrys such as spyware.... be careful not to remove anything you'll need. Happy Downloading and merry christmas. I'll stick with IRC and FTP.

I personally wouldn't say that Kazaa is vulnerable... Maybe it's because you dunno what you are truly downloading. But that's what you have an antivirus program right? Sometimes it might screw up your computer. Did to my friends.. but what do I know? lol

Your Co-Worker obviously knows nothing about KaZaa.....you should suggest to him or her that they try using Google to check their information before spreading vicious rumors.

For those of you that gave me negative points for above post.....Neg me for being a smart ass if you must, but please note the sarcasm in what I've said about google for info.....and stop giving me neg points for not knowing KaZaa is vulnerable.....I'm well aware of the fact.

Besides the ethical reasons of running a P2P network - there are at least three known vulnerabilities for Kazaa:

There is a known denial of service associated with the adds that Kazaa serves

There is a buffer overflow vulnerability that can result in both Denial of Service and execution of arbitrary code

And in some versions of Kazaa - ads are executed in the MSIE local zone - which could allow the execution of arbitrary code

So - stating that Kazaa is not vulnerable would be incorrect . . .
