Kazza is the biggest Spyware program on the Internet.I had it downloaded and
then got rid of all reference to it. It even wants to use your un-used
computing power, which you have to carefully read when you agree to their
terms. There is a write up, and a Fix on Kazzaa, that called "A Clean
Kazza....Because it's your Computer". If anyone is using Kazza, and want's
the way to disable their Spyware, let me know, I will send it to them.
I downloaded Kazza, and installed it, then ran AdAware, and it had put 86
references on my computer to accept, and send out information. No
way....Jose'.
