MrPinna Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 i dont use any p2p programs anymore, my computer is completely free of ad-ware/spy-ware for the first time in months :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Have to say I think I'm glad, with the nasties the Kazaa network has been responsible for assisting in the distribution of.I think the risks are the same whichever p2p you use.

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 one less P2P should reduce the workloadThat's why I'm pleased it's on it's way out :D :D But Kazaa-lite is just Kazaa without the spyware...this really won't curtail p2p activities!

mark2 Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Shirl, lite still uses the kazaa network tho, Not everyone is switched on about viruses etc and as K is the most frequently used thats where the nasty peeps are going to try to distribute their dross.

Guest northamuk Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Mark, it is a total waste of time helping most of the Kazaa users to get rid of the nasties because their next question is usually ' is there a better P2P proggie?' and if they ask the question on PCA they will get their like-minded pals jumping in with loads of suggestions.

Bluecow Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Shirley_CrabtreeBut Kazaa-lite is just Kazaa without the spyware...this really won't curtail p2p activities!That is the real statement here when Napster went p2p didn't stop did it and K-lite was more underground than Kazaa, people will just move to kazaa.northamukMark, it is a total waste of time helping most of the Kazaa users to get rid of the nasties because their next question is usually ' is there a better P2P proggie?' and if they ask the question on PCA they will get their like-minded pals jumping in with loads of suggestions.and so the circle goes on and the following question will be "how do I get rid of this virus"The only way p2p will stop is when the recording/film industry starts coming down on ISP's to stop the traffic in these files.

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 All I meant was that Andsome prolly hasn't got a clue about file-sharing in general...if he has grandkids ....they WILL know!!...Nuff said.My point was THAT the fact that the Kazaa ppl have closed down K-Lite is pretty irrelevant...the Kazaa network will live on albeit with spyware etc.K-lite was just a nice portal into Kazaa.It's not all about piracy y'know....it's about spreading THE WORD!Cheers.
