i've been using KAZAA for like, two to three years but there hasn't been a virus since then. i downloaded bullguard becuase of this person who sent me this page and was a virus, but KAZAA a virus??????????
No....KaZzAa is not nececarilly a virus. But, 70% of people who get viruses are the ones that use kazaa. Due to lack of protection, the music files on kazaa, and there P2P service, is likely rigged. About 40% of music files that people download each day, are viruses or have viruses embedded,(and/or attactched). Since Kazaa does not automatically scan the files once they are put up, its fair game. Most viruses get realesed and distributed through kazaa that way too. I dont suggest the use of kazaa but...people are bound to go there own free will lol. Bullgaurd does nothing towards kazaa. Trust me...i've gotten 2 adware and malware viruses (that have been deleted)from kazaa, and when I got them, bullgaurd did nothing. I recomend, PCillin, McAfee, Norton, and AVG. Those are all ggood. And if I were you, I'd scan my computer using Ad-aware or Spybot Search and Destroy you may not have a major virus or so, but Im pretty sure the least you probably have is spyware or malware xD so, if you dont want to risk anything, a good thing like kazaa (but you have to have aol) is music net@aol. Those are not viruses, nor re they put up by other ocmputer uses so its 100% virus free :) you can, download, stream, watch, and burn! :D So, I wish ya the best of luck with what ever your decison is :)
Maitakade, you know your name can be written in both Hiragana and Katakana? (Both Japanese Language) Which would presume the orgin of your name being 100% Japanese. Anyways, KaZaa is not a virus. and if you attend to use KaZaA to only download mp3 format music off kazaa, and when I mean mp3 i mean .mp3, not BRITNEY SPEARS.mp3.exe. if it ends with .mp3you will never get a virus. Though, its coming commonly "COOL" to hit up SFACID, and load up 7 seconds worth of a SONG then load the rest with a scratching / bussing type noise..(90% of the time ITS NOT FBI tracking) Though KaZaA is preety wack compared to all the other 20 times better P2P programs out there. DELETE the adwares off BearShare and you've got the best P2P program. or use Shareaza.
Sorry clyde got to agree with Mystikal dreamer there, just don't use ant of them, look at it this way you get what you pay for. Maitakade, that poem is that Haiku? I will agree that Kazaa is not a virus but you can darn sure get a lot of viruses off of it.
In my opinion I think Kazaa is a virus . I had it and deleted it . and found it still there no matter who many times i get ride of it . I do a search for Kazza on my computer and still find it there . I have even tried to remove it manualy. It didn't work .
