I am basing this off of my experience, the experience of others(including my wife), and the stories of the people who have problems. Kazaa lite has always been a decent program without spyware or build in proxy ports. IF you downloaded one that did, then it was not the actual Kazaa lite, and thus user error. If you let a virus get on your computer and it modified Kazaa, that is user error. I am insuniating that in all my years of using Kazaa lite (++) I've never had one person complain to me that it did such thing without it being something they did that was dumb, and in no way related to origonal operation of Kazaa.

I am also not saying that it can not happen, but have never seen it happen to anyone I know that uses it, or from software review posts across the web. Thus why I said "Seen" in my post. If it is recreatable, with the actuall Kazaa Lite Software (and not user error, downloading a non official, bugged version), then I will more than happily agree that Kazaa settings may in fact be able to be changed.

But until I see documentation, links, and reports, his statements are nothing more than statements. And don't try to say a Virus can do it, because if someone is user error prone enough to allow one on their system, they shouldn't be using kazaa in the first place.

EDIT: I can see how this post might come off as "holier than thou" or snotty, but know that I don't mean it to be. I am honestly asking for documentation of cases (not virus related) in which Kazaa lite suddenly changes settings. I honestly want to know. The reason why I won't listen to virus reports is because the origonal argument of "You should always check in case a virus changes it" would apply to every single bit of software in existance, and is a no-brainer. You can not preassume a virus is going to be running all of the time and thus settings are going to be changed. In his origonal statement, it would be like saying "Yes, you can set it, but you should ALWAYS double check your outlook,msn,aim,mozilla,firebird,windows,xmms,winamp,etc etc settings before using them. Let's draw the line over user error
