XP SP2

[MJ]

Just installed SP2 and first thing I noticed is it has disabled KAZA, even
though I have set firewall to allow this it still shuts KAZA down as soon as
I try to start KAZA. Any ideas?.

Thanks

No suggestion as how to fix, but Kazaa is renowned as one of the worst
sources of Spyware and viruses.

Kudos to MS.

Hi MJ - In addition to being spyware and installing other malware, Kazaa is
know to cause a number of other installation problems for other software. I
would strongly advise you to get rid of it using KaZaaBegone.exe
available here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/...kazaabegone.zip ,
and then to replace it with Kazaa Lite available here:
http://www.kazaalite.com/ if you wish to use this kind of service.

Assuming you're referring to *Kazaa* (three A's, 2 at the end), start here:
