| 100374 | 2002-11-21 21:29:00 | A thread that Roofus made has got me wondering........ What is so wrong with the "unhacked" original Kazaa? I have been a Kazaa user for yonks (ever since Audiogalaxy went AWOL) and have to say all the hype surrounding Kazaa Lite is a little well ummmm. I have never noticed anything negative with my computer when hooked up to Kazaa. My computer seems to work reasonably fast (as fast as a Celeron 733mhz with 256mb RAM will anyway) and I can't see anything negative at all in using it. I don't get anything weird being downloaded, unless I want it, hardly ever/never see any pop-ups (well no more than normal anyway) don't get spam mail. So whats the big deal about Lite? BALDY:-) |

| 100378 | 2002-11-21 22:12:00 | > Spyware . What kind of spyware? The reason I asked that question was that I used to have Kazaa Lite, then I put the "unhacked" version on and nothing seems any different . Apart from getting better downloads . Did yoiu know gibler, that you can be eavesdropped on when you are using your telephone . Or have you installed a voice scrambler? |

| 100382 | 2002-11-21 22:44:00 | I think it is a case of, if you really don't desire the spyware and there is an alternative then why put up it? | gibler (49) | ||
| 100383 | 2002-11-21 22:54:00 | True...... So really, all that Kazaa is doing, is putting a "spyware/adware" cookie onto your system to help pay for the Kazaa network. Just like the Doubleclick cookie (Adaware picks up DC as well) that PressF1 puts on your browser - or wherever it goes - to get revenue to cover the costs of PressF1 etc. Whats the difference? |
