Today I had to reinstall KaZaa because of some missing file (thanks to AdAware by the way...).

So I decided to go with the latest release v 2.5 and got so much additional garbage I didn't want, it took me good 15 minutes to figure out what I had and delete some of it.

One most annoying part is that it installs something in your browser - a search bar from "MySearch" that attaches itself under the address bar every time a new window opens. And not only when you start your IE, I mean every time you click on some link that opens a new window..

I cancelled it from settings, but its just something "too much" you know... Well, I'm mad now!

Tsk tsk tsk Artashes, using a P2P program!

I presume though now you use Kazaa Lite though since it has no spyware then eh?

I am also having a bit of probems with kazaa not knowing if it is spyware related or adware. Anytime I open kazaa lite my pc slows down but when I check the process manager kazaa lite is using 0% cpu and then when I check on the process manage for my popup filter it is at 1% but I see no ads nor pop ups. Can some one explain to me what is going on or is this some sort of adware or spyware or what ever ware because what ever it is is causing me to go nuts.
