| That was a good "heads-up", k4dwi. I think there is a niche for such a service, though, if it is run "legitimately". I can see a company starting up in a country that's immune to U.S. copyright law, then charging for P2p services that include filtering for viruses. No doubt, the RIAA is behind the virus infestations at Kazaa, which will prompt someone to start a service such as this. Too bad. If they, (the RIAA), would just provide a service with reasonable prices, etc., they could be benefitting from all of this, rather than tightening the noose around their own neck... -- The glass is neither half-empty, nor is it half-full; it is merely twice the size required to contain the liquid elements therein. | |

| piece of junk (insert expeletive here) software
When I found out over the weekend that some lovely little gobbledy gook programs were installing themselves via Kazaa I promptly deleted the software and spent a good half day eliminating stuff like, nxysumba.exe, among plenty other cryptic files.. Now, I'm not going to say it's not partially my responsibility, I did agree to download and install the software, it's just that I can not justify at this time paying for another product that could open a door for pesky little problems into my system and cause havoc. FYI, even with a software firewall and a virus scanner it still couldn't prevent this crap from getting in. by the by, for those who care, the name of the nasties was W32.LITMUS, trojan. It's especially pesky for WIN ME and WIN XP as it and I'm sure plenty other trojans can reside in the system restore files. Turning off System Restore before eradicating the problem helped! --

Wow, just what the RIAA needs.... a company they can pin their lawsuit on! Can't sue Kazaa because there is no central server... but perhaps the company SELLING the software??!!?? I mean, with profit must come some responsibility.

| Haha... I....*acquired* a password to download this when I first ran across it, just out of curiosity to see what it was. I shoulda reported it, but I didn't think much of it at the time...it IS KaZaaLite, nothing more. The virus removal is nothing more than PC-cillin, if my memory serves me correctly, and the like.
They've changed the purchase now...before you just submitted the information (or in my case, bypassed that portion), and it took you to a download link..now they have it to where they want to 'process' your order and then send you the information in email, which defeats my method of 'entry'.
Bottom line, it's a fraud...and I'm shocked that CNet Downloads has them as a sponsored link. That tells me people are actually buying this. | |

I know those guys they are good guys. Apparently, they had an automated hosting service, which kazaa gold signed up at. They had nothing to do with kazaa gold, and have since booted them from their servers. | |

| Kazaa Gold Diggers!
I 'bought' the kazaa gold software on CD. The site said it would take up to 6 weeks to arrive, like 12 weeks on I haven't heard a thing. The contact email address I received with my receipt is bogus and I have no other means of getting in touch to say "where's my CD?". Has anyone else not got there goods! It's one thing charging too much for something, it's another when you don't even get what you paid too much for! Grrrrrrr! | |

| Downunder and down and out Buyers be aware!!! Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? If only I knew. Having teenager sons I agreed to download Kazaagold premium for the advertised price $29.90 later December 2003. After several attempts to download movies my sons and I just gave up, 15 attempts and not one worked. But alas that is not my quam. I was dumbfounded when I received my credit card bill. The unscrupulous money grabbers had withdrawn US$120 from my account, 4 x the download fee. An honest mistake I thought, it's nothing that cannot be rectified once I contacted kaaza support, yeah right!! Do they even exist? I made over a dozen attempts to contact such site, leaving message after message and what did I get NOTHING!! not even one reply. There on line chat support site NEVER available, the toll free phone number is never answered. So here I am paying costly for my trust. Where I come from they call this THEFT!! and dipping into someones hard earn money not twice, not three times but four times really takes the cake. I have call for a full investigation on the pirates of kazaagold and still they don't budge. But the battle is not over yet. So dear naive lovers of the arts BE AWARE of this so call spin off site KazaaGold unless you don't mind throwing your saving into their hands or rather deep pockets. NOT HAPPY KAZAAGOLD or rather should it be called fools gold. | |
