Kazaa ads

[khuldun]

Hi

How do i get rid of all the spyware that comes with Kazaa? I just installed Kazaa nd it looks like my PC is out of my control now. The mouse seems to be going somwhere else!!

PS Is there any other good software besides kazaa for p2p with many users?

For p2p I would recommend Limewire. No ads, no compulsory sharing and you can pretty much find anything you like.

Get Spybot + Adaware + A good Antivirus like AVG, boot in safe mode, scan and remove all virus and spywares using updated definitions...also I would still recommend removing Kazaa also! Use Limewire or Torrents!

seems like you're in trouble and got a backdoor or subseven in your computer if your mouse looks like it's possessed, to avoid this stop frequenting file sharing communities and if you must use a proxy.

you can download hijackthis from here:

and do a scan only of your system and copy and paste the logs here so we can help you sort it out.

I've only used Kazaa once, just before my computer overloaded with spyware :P

Now I use limewire, I recommend that you use that, you can download it here: http://www.limewire.com/

Ditto.

Immediately download and install SpyBot: Search & Destroy and AdAware. They're among the top 10 spyware/malware removers.

Immediately is the key word. Who is the person that recommended kazaa to you?

I did once have a link and download a version of kazaa that was free from spyware/adware etc - not sure what the site was now, but never really used kazaa much anyway.
