MoRphEuS, how can you find if theres spyware on the computer. im kinda curious and i want to look at my system. i was on kazaa for awhile and i want to make sure that someone didnt slide something into my system.

Kazaa Lite, Emule and Bittorrent are the best IMO.

I use Kazaa for music, Emule for a bit of everything (Slow) and Bittorrent for whatever I find interesting in Suprnova

google for a program called "ad-aware" or just go to download.com. I can guarantee that you have plenty of spy/adware.

before I deleted kaaza and winmx, I was finding 10-20 pieces of spy-ware a week, and Norton av picked up a virus every month or 2.

since I deleted them I've had no virus problems at all and only about 6 or 8 spy-ware per month.

That's why you need Kazaa-lite. It's Kazaa without the BS.

There are many ways to tell.

One way is that you computer, like mine did, just has a mind of its own. It was freaking possessed. lol. Hijackers, trojans, worms, you name it, I had it. Seeing as this is what I was using this computer for I wasn't really upset. I would just use it to get the crap from Kazza and other sites that I knew probably were "dangerous" to go on. Scan them make sure they were clean and move them to another computer.

There are programs like SpyBot or ad-Aware that go in and take out alot of the junk thats on your system. But sometimes they just dont cut it. Even a V-scan wont do it sometimes.

BTW Mane, well said. The US does seem more worried about info and 1's and 0's than true crimes sometimes. Very sad.

LOL

btw guys. I went with Lime Wire for my MP3s and a newer program called Ares.

Ares was downloading software at an astounding speed! I had Norton System works 2004 downloaded and cracked in under 20 minutes lol.

Lime wire had 30-40 songs downloading which were all done in 10 minutes.

Yes, if skuzzy is reading this he's probably not happy. "your killing your connection!" Funny thing is though it didnt seem to hurt it that bad. I went right into the DA last night after about 2-3 hours of downloading stuff and had no problems and noticed no difference.

had the lite version, but with 3 kids in the house and me often out of town, we still had troubles. their was a lot of crap in the files they d/l'd.

all a file needs is the name of something a kid really wants and all system security seems to go out the window.

I can buy a lot of music for the price of replacing the info on my drives, plus the quality of shared files is so random that I usually ended up just buying the CD anyway and replacing the d/l'd files.

I like his avatar, but even most 13 yr olds have stopped using the caps mix nonsense. Specially in a game and board populated mostly by grown men.
