I just uninstalled Kazaa and Morpheus. Question... does the Spyware uninstall with it, or do I have to get a seperate program to get rid of THAT shit, too? And what's the best program to do that, and where can I get it... Free pizza for whoever helps me out! |

Try Ad-aware. It found ewerything on your disc, even cookies. /Zappafan |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BTW: Dont use this kind of progs if you wonna surf some kind of safe. |
||||||||

try to find anti-spyware programs with kazaa or morpheus... it works. look, when you installes kazaa, search fo anything named gator. these are spy-files. or try this: fuck, i dont cant find the program no, but i tell ya when i find it |

I downloaded the latest Ad Aware yesterday and found 104 new ones , previously undetected. And several anoying Explorer errors dissapeard.(before it used to freeze up when more then two windows open) Spyware should be illegal imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks for the help, I just downloaded Ad Ware 5.8 from Download.com, 95% rating, can't be bad. Time to scan my system for sneaky little spy bastards! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oooh tell us how many you found when your done !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that Ad-aware is one of the best progs to find out what the heck is going on inside the computer. But, of course, you must have a firewall, whithout that you are a looser out here... |
||||||||

It says ''102 Components recognized''... hmm... and one of them is the god damned Bonzi Buddy! I'm going to delete him and send him straight to hell! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bonzi should go fuck himself!! |
||||||||
|
|

|
I've heard that Kazaa won't function without the spyware, but I've never actually used it. I guess you'll find out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

You are lost in the space Ophecks. Get ride of all that crap! Protect your self, for heavens... |

I uninstalled Kazaa anyway, IWhale. I don't use that piece of shit anyway, same with Morpheus. Alright, I got lots of files like ''Brilliant Digital'', ''Twisted Humor (?)'', ''Cydoor'', ''Doubleclick'', ''Flyswat'', ''Transponder'', ''Onflow'', and lots of... er... Sextrackers... Do I get rid of all these? What are they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brilliant Digital is the thing that comes hidden with Kazaa. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Here's my humble suggestion: 1. Uninstall Kazaa and Morpheus 2. As mentioned previously download Ad-aware and run that puppy. 3. Install kazaalite - kazaa sans spyware http://www.kazaalite.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ost of that you say here is onlu cookies. Some other are written in the registry. You could see what Ad-aware found in the registry, another icon. Just get ride of it. Have tryid this prog for al long time, never, say never, get anything wrong. So, sweep it away! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thethird : yeah right, kazaalite isn't 100% spyware free. i just fucked out gator, which was installed with kazaalite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway, we'll never be save from spyware. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Soulseek. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sadist, In the Kazaalite README they say that that file installed but disabled because Kazaa won't work without it. Could be a lie, who knows? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got that ad aware thing, found 184 components....... mostly gator. got rid of them all :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the strange thins is that i downloaded kazaalite and found a spyware from kazaa after installing it. ?????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is audiogalaxy spyware? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is soulseek safe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what does spyware even do....? (beads of sweat forming on forehead) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spyware reports your info to another source, what websites you visit, what your usernames and passwords are, VERY bad, spyware is very hard to root out even for the highest professionals, I tried Kazaa Lite and I havent found any problems with it yet. |
||||||||

|
|
I can't download from an ftp. And download.com is ftp based. Can someone help me get ad-aware? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you get ad-aware, you'll no which progs to avoid and which once to stick to. you can also download dummy files for the p2p progs that need spyware to run. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just found ad-aware and my computer had 237 components. Thats way to many... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jesus where do I get Ad aware? Is audiogalaxy screwing me unawares? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I uninstalled all that crap. Will this speed my computer up or anything? It feels cleaner. :-) |
||||||||

|
im not too computor savvy. What is spyware? whats it do? and are people really spying? if so... who? -Zeus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who is spying on us? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spyware is software that tells one or multiple company your internet activities and personal information. As was said earlier in this topic, Kazaa and Morpheus are both spyware along with everything Gator makes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but, whats the purpose? can they hack our computors? does the government moniter stuff too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know what the hell it does, or what it spies on... it's the computer memory stealing issue that made me get rid of them. The only thing to spy on with my computer is lots of MP3s and porn! I don't care if the spies know what I listen to and jerk off to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's mainly just free market research, and also is used to choose what pop-up ads your computer gets, though it could be used to hack I imagine... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aha! I just got ad aware and I found 50 bad things! And this on a new computer I just got yesterday! All I had installed was audiogalaxy and now all the crap is gone and audiogalaxy is still working so I guess I really stuck it to the man! I dont suppose any of you care about my triumph but ahwell what can I do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...one thing you all can do is get Zone Alarm and build a firewall on your system, no one can get into it after that. (unless you authorize them to do so.) the only thing is that i dunno if shite such as Kazaa or Morpheus will run if you don´t authorize them completely.....oh well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you guys make me nervouse. dl ad aware right now, i wonder if it will find anything |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
