You can still use your favorite pics and modify them as you see fit.
If you don't like this program, well, then you're goofy.

Swoopy, if that Kazaa is full version, then it has installed some spyware in your computer. Kazaa Lite is kazaa without spyware.

spyware??

If you accept the terms of installation of Kazaa, then you accept the "spyware" software too. I don't know how harmful it is, but here's little more info:

"KaZaA's spyware: "A California company has quietly attached its software to millions of downloads of the popular Kazaa file-trading program and plans to remotely "turn on" people's PCs, welding them into a new network of its own.
Brilliant Digital Entertainment, a California-based digital advertising technology company, has been distributing its 3D ad technology along with the Kazaa software since late last fall. But in a federal securities filing Monday, the company revealed it also has been installing more ambitious technology that could turn every computer running Kazaa into a node in a new network controlled by Brilliant Digital."

Kazaa spyware

You should uninstall it and use KaZaa Lite instead (some popups in this site)

and more:

"The city of Aspen has made plans to improve it's computer security network after a Canadian (figures) man found his way into the system through a file-sharing program, named Kazaa, last week.
James xxxxx of Toronto, Canada, was searching the Kazaa peer-to-peer file-sharing network for a copy of "Austin Powers in Goldmember" on August 30 when he found himself viewing the entire contents of the city's network hardrives"

Swoopy, if I'd you, I'd immediately uninstall it. It has troijan horses (?), which takes connections to different places without you knowing it (if you don't have updated internet security software like Norton Internet Security, that is). Anyway, using Kazaa like p2p softwares, you will get virus, sooner or later.
Using Kazaa Lite about 2 months now, I've already received several viruses / troijan horses that Norton Antivirus has blocked off.
Be extremely careful and get good antivirus software (and internet security), if you don't have ones yet. IMO Norton products are best possible out there.
