I always knew that there were more programs built into Kazaa. I can't believe it took this long for people to find out about it, especially the Brilliant Digital Entertainment software, which makes the 3d projector program for playing stuff in the Kazaa interface... They also have another piece of software built in by Cydoor but I’m not real familiar with it and haven't had time to mess with it... -- Silicon Works Inc. silicon_freak@siliconworksinc.net
i am with you, this info has been around for a while so whats the surprise with kaaza. i only found out about spyware because i do some computer consulting and a customer of mine where the boss of a small company managed to trash his computer somehow and i spent 3 days getting his data back and rebuilding his hard drive with win 2k. it was rock solid when i left him. well 3 months later he had problems with everything again and i had just read an article about these peer to peer shareware crap programs. plus i noticed he had 7 gig of mp3's. i ran adaware on his machine and he had 50 or so of these spyware progs. i searched for some of them on the internet and was shocked by the size of them and the resources that they used. the problems they cause was well documented, even microsoft knowledge base has some listed as known problems. guess what, i got rid of all of them and it fixed 100% of his problems.
reply to cbcalhoun Exactly... This stuff isn't that new... Your downloading their program for free and in return your giving your computer and resources to do whatever they wish with it... Also it isn't like anyone ever reads or can understand the TOS that come along with these programs, so who really knows what they are hiding in their code to run on there computer... -- Silicon Works Inc. silicon_freak@siliconworksinc.net
