Theologian in Training Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 First of all what makes Kazaa lite legal over the normal Kazaa, and second, why did Kazaa lite needed to be resurrected if it is legal in the first place? Just curious is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yiannii Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Kazaa is illegal?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasJis Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Kaaza is now a pay site that pays for the music you download. It also downloads tons of "spyware" into your computer that tracks your browsing habits and inserts ads and pop-ups. Very bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I am not entirely sure, but even the "normal' version of Kazaa can be installed with the ability to remove it's spy ware while keeping the "normal" version of Kazaa working.

jasJis Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I read computer geek magazines. There is not work-around the spyware and most spyware removers cannot accomplish it. Be very wary, but it's your computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theologian in Training Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 It is not Kazaa Lite, it is Kazaa Lite Resurrection, a hack of Kazaa Lite. It is very popular and hosts over 2 million people. It is a free service, no spyware, and no adware. I installed it to see what the big deal was (but did not download anything), it is merely Kazaa without ads, spyware, and a program that is very seamless on your computer. When I uninstalled it left the shared folder and one file in the prefetch, and a key in the registry. Otherwise, my computer was clean. Of course, I did not download any files, so I don't know if the ads/spyware come from there, but from the p2p itself, there was nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasJis Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I don't use any of them. I buy my CD's (or rather, let my kids buy them). In my opinion, iTunes is probably the safest. In a few months, competition will clean up some of the pay download sites. Spyware is very bad and blockers and hunters are not very successfull in detecting and thwarting the stuff from the music sites, especially if you install ANYTHING. It isn't necessarily the music, it's the program. CMom, Ad-Aware and Spybot, along with a free firewall should help alot. Check out PCMag's site for download locations.

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Your daughter got Spyware from Kazaa Lite? That's interesting, because I used it once and nothing happened. I would assume, since it was hacked software, that there may have been some different versions out there and maybe some of them weren't clean. My only complaint about Kazaa Lite is that Kazaa knows what users are using it and they kick you off their server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
