Why do kazaa not kazaa lite lie that there is no spyware in there P2P program?? i just caught them red handed with ads everywhere banners flying pop ups for no reason and still they dont want to admit it that its not spyware !?
August 28, 2003 at 8:53 pm #91103CharlesMemberSee….they reserve the right to advertise. To them, it isn’t considered spyware. If you read Kazaa’s EULA, you will see how they reserve the right to advertise. You agreed to it by using their software…live with it. I don’t know about Kazaa Lite, I don’t get ads. What I am pissed is that the Kazaa Lite codec pack included software that had spyware in it. Now my IE has its search pages set to 3rd party BS. Anyone know how to atleast set it back to MSN?
August 28, 2003 at 8:53 pm #91108shifterMemberThats ad-ware. There is a difference.
August 28, 2003 at 8:59 pm #91112Me604Memberget ad-aware 6 build 181 it will fix the problem… yeah your browser has been hijacked
August 28, 2003 at 9:06 pm #91102CharlesMemberI did that already…still not fixed.
August 28, 2003 at 9:09 pm #91111Me604Membercan you give me a screenshot goto into this forum http://www.lavasoftsupport.com tell them and they will try to fix the problem and run a webupdate first then scan !!
August 28, 2003 at 9:20 pm #91107shifterMemberYour browser has not been hijacked. Your Search page has been modified thats all. Your solution is right here – http://www.tweakxp.com/display.aspx?id=1190
August 28, 2003 at 9:25 pm #91101CharlesMemberI edited the registry…it didn’t work. All the values were set to the MSN Search Page, I went and reset the default to MSN. This didn’t work. Whenever I make a typo in the address bar…it starts to load the MSN, but then redirects me to “Global Finder”. Any solutions?

Because you are getting ads doesnt mean its from kazaa lite, I have it and i have never gotten ad’s from it.

I’m not sure why you’re getting Alexa, maybe you surfed on some sites. Alexa is OK, useful to check the stats on websites. http://www.alexa.com
