I downloaded Kazaa lite cause someone said it had no spyware and I had like over 100 spyware things a few days later when brainsoft did a scan of my computer!
 
It could be any number of things that you installed on your computer. More than just KaZaA has had spyware in it. Did you have KaZaA "Full" installed on your computer before? That could do it. AOL, ICQ, Yahoo, free versions of many popular programs such as Getright, Gozilla, Download Accelerator, and even many websites can introduce spyware on your computer (thankfully, neither XiBase nor OTC do :headbang:)

That's what you say.... But would you tell us if they did?

BTW, if you're tracking my usage, can you get me the link to that porn site I was at last night, I forgot to bookmark it.

I don't think I'd live with myself if I let a spyware cookie come anywhere near any of my sites... Even if it's an ad that would bring in a billion dollars a month.

OK, well, maybe I'd crack then. :headbng2:

But seriously, I hate spyware cookies as much as anyone else. I run Ad-Aware weekly and have my browser ask me before storing ANY cookie (in IE6, it's Tools\Internet Options\Privacy\Advanced - set both to Prompt)

If you didn't crack then, we'd all KNOW you are as crazy as some of us think you are.

Did that come out wrong?
 
If you don't know now, then there's very little left that I can do to prove it to you.
 
I have NEVER had a problem with ads before. I never had full Kazaa installed either. I installed Kazaa Lite, a couple days later my computer was runnign liek shit. brainsoft checked, it was loaded down with spyware. He uninstalled Kazaa, cleaned out all the spyware shit and I haven't had a problem since...
 
Could've been that the KMD website was the sole source of all the spyware, but I kind of doubt it. That is really odd, since I'm running Ad-Aware right now, and I ran it right after I installed KL a few weeks ago, and never found any spyware.
 
Stipped Kaaza 100% off again and deleted it from the registry. redownloaded the lite version... and it STILL hogs a CPU... wtf? Anyone know how to clips the code so I can get my cpu back?
 
Kazaa stinks!

If I dare to run it's internal player/theatre without rebooting afterwards my comp goes skitzo! As for that f*****g JSNoclose bug - nuf said...

How is Kazaa Lite on that?
 
Kazza lite is ok, but i never use the internal player, i just copy the dat file and rename the extension to whatever the file is, and test it, if its an avi file, its best to fix the index with avi fixer if trying to play a partially downloaded file.
 
Kazaa Lite never takes up 100% of my CPU, no matter how hard I try to let it.

Although the internal player really really sucks, takes 5 or 6 clicks to get it to let you preview a file. Kazaa 1.5 was so much better in that aspect, it'd play it on the first try (if it had enough data to start playing)

I hope KL2.0 fixes that.
 
Thanks soooo much for the info about Kazaa Lite. I am now one more very satified customer. No more ads and I'll swear it's faster than KMD too.

It is happening to me :eek:

and i've never installed Kazaa, my first installation was Kazaa lite, and nothing has changed, it has been always kazaa lite.
 
k, i found the problem.

I guess there's a bug in the sending code, something that makes the CPU load go full, probably an "over sending" filling some UDP/TCP stacks in the TCP/IP module. Or probably just a loop causing it to go to the 100%.

See if the cpu load goes down when you cancel all the uploads.
 
finally a use for dialup - no-one in their right mind takes a file off a low-bandwidth jockey like me :D
