'Tis true..Kazaa is loaded with spyware and there were some other embedded programs that made this a rather poor product. Alas..a programmer who knew of the pitfalls, came along and rewrote the program..and it works like a charm...with NO SPYWARE..but uses the Kazaa network...
Try:
http://www.kazaalite.com/
This program works and does NOT have any of the bad stuff in it.
For those who have had previous P to P software downloaded..it would be a VERY good idea to download Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. It is free and it is available at:
www.cnet.com
When you download the Kazaalite...there WILL be a small cookie installed on the system...it is completely harmless and if you are using Adaware...you must make Adaware ignore this cookie. The cookie mimics the harmful junk that the original Kazaa program is loaded with...the big difference...it is completely harmless and has absolutely no affect on the running of the program.
My offspring have downloaded hours of goodies using the system and there have been no problems whatsoever!
Enjoy
