i have something putting shortcuts to stupid websites on my desktop and menu and taskbar @ every boot of my system...
1. i cannot recognize anything procces in tack manager
2. there's nothign in start up folders in my menu or "all users" profile
where can i look for this adware ...??? please don't recommend any commercial solutions...
thanx for your time
How about scanning with Adaware or Spybot.......
Putting links on your desktop.... you install any software the day this happened?.. Most times when you install any software, it puts some kind of crap on your desktop... umm.. thats all I could think of....
i know what you're talking 'bout but the links appear on EVERY reboot... that's not install.... that's spyware ... what is adaware and spybot
Adware is just a software to get rid of all of that crap that you keep getting on your desktop it pretty good. I think it something that gets in your regedit or something like that. I know expert but if u get a program it will make it alot easier to grt rid of.
Hope That Helped......BlueWolf

You will have to reinstall kazaa they have spyware programs that are needed but what you can do is set your firewall to block the spyware. They include these spyware programs to pay for you using kazaa for free.
If I uninstall my Kazaa, will my "My Shared Folder" will be removed too?

"Knowledge is the beginning of something you don't know."
I dunno much about KaZaa, but Broderbund Printmaster 10 puts spyware on a system. AdAware picks up the spyware, but if you delete it Printmaster won't work.
Note to etruscan:
You can get Ad-aware, a free proggy, at
Lavasoft
netbreaker, If you want to continue with p2p.. and Kazza why not Kazza lite? same service no crap BDE ..
BTW: Trust your Antivirus is uptodate.. Kazza is otherwise known as Virus Centeral
Cheers
BTW: Ive tried Norton, McAfee and AVG.. I am stuck.. Which AntiVirus will uninstall this f@$#an Flu?
hmmm... BTW what's the difference between Kazaa and Kazaa Lite?
If you uninstall kazaa or reinstall you do not lose the stuff in your shared folder. Even kazaa lite has a .dll which (i use pest patrol) is picked up as spyware--with pest patrol simply exclude it from the pest list
I think kazaa lite is a program not authorized by the group that put out kazaa(sharmon ltd???) it is a program that uses their resources (against their wishes) There is also a couple of new versions of kazaa which purport to provide stealth against (dia)RIAA.
I wouldn't personally use kazaa now as that seems to be where most of the blame is being laid for music and software piracy. I also wouldn't make a suggestion on this site as to where to pirate music but on a non internet note if you and 4 of your buddies each bought a different cd and passed them around the quality of sound would be pretty decent at that price!
kazaa-lite is a program writen to look like kazaa and access the kazaa network. its not made by the same people and has no spyware/adware. if you get it DONT press yes when it says kazaa has found an up date would you like to install it now. that comes from the kazaa network and their idea of an update is new and improved spyware
Definitly go with kazaa lite. It has many features that are definitly needed in the regular kazaa such as the ability to search more than twice and you can hide yourself easier. Plus no spyware/adware isnt life great.
