Silence Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I just recently found out that KaZaA Lite (not the Resurrection version) put Spyware into my computer according to a Taskmaster employee, since I took my computer to Taskmaster just three days ago because my Internet connection was scratchy recently and wouldn't go through anymore, so I had to use my dad's computer for two days. The ironic thing is that I thought someone on here told me that KaZaA Lite DIDN'T have Adware and Spyware, but it apparently does. What I'd like to ask is: Is there any file-sharing program similar to KaZaA Lite that gives me Mp3's, wrestling matches, etc. like KaZaA Lite did, except without the Spyware? Help would be appreciated.
Golgo 13 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 That's gotta be bullshit. Lite/Resurrection doesn't have any ad/spyware. You probably picked it up elsewhere.
Silence Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Posted June 24, 2004 That's gotta be bullshit. Lite/Resurrection doesn't have any ad/spyware. You probably picked it up elsewhere. But the Taskmaster employee told me not to download KaZaA (she never said Lite, though, but I found out that she had deleted Lite when I tried to click the icon on my desktop and it gave me a message) since she found out it put Spyware into my computer. I didn't want to believe it either, but I had no choice but to eliminate the KaZaA icon on my desktop since the program wouldn't work anymore anyway. I really don't know what to believe, to be honest with everyone. Aren't Spyware viruses hidden, also?
the max Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I've had K-Lite for almost two years, and have had no problems with it introducing spyware into my computer. I have a problem with the internet introducing spyware, but that's easily solvable.

I'm assuming you have regular Kazaa Lite, which is a worthless piece of crap. It is possible to acquire viruses by downloading exe files that appear to be programs but are indeed viruses. Don't ever do that. Kazaa Lite K++ and Kazaa Lite Resurrection have options to filter out suspicious files. And if you're worried about spyware, just run Ad-Aware after you install any version of Kazaa.
LaParkaYourCar Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 What is Kazaa Lite Resurrection? What's the difference?
Golgo 13 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Resurrection is more or less a name change, from the K++ before it. There are minor upgrades, among them the interface, IIRC, but that's it. The name change was brought about during a legal battle the people behind Lite had with the "real" Kazaa.

The person who worked on my computer did install Spy Sweeper, so I guess I should try to download KaZaA Lite Resurrection and possibly Ad-Aware just to be on the safe side. Does anyone have the link to Resurrection?
Guest slacklet Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Does anyone have the link to Resurrection? click here
TheFranchise Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 Does anyone have the link to Resurrection? click here Not up, does anyone know where i can get this?
Guest Hero to all Children Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 Hint: Google it. You're likely to get a lot of possible sources for download that way.
TheFranchise Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 I dont have the 'ressurected' version, but i do have it now.
Guest news_gimmick Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 I used Ares Galaxy to download off of. Its great and easy to use just like KaZza. Check it out at download.com
caboose Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 If I install Kazaa Lite K++ or Kazaa Lite Ressurection will it finish or continue downloads that are unfinished from my regular Kazaa?
Guest Hero to all Children Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Yes, it will. At least I think so. I had three old downloads on the list that I last touched with the original kazaa months ago. That's after uninstalling it and purging all the spyware from my registry and harddrive in general.
Jobber of the Week Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Hint: Google it. You're likely to get a lot of possible sources for download that way. I believe Kazaa had sued Google into basically gimping any searches for Kazaa Lite. Link still needed.
Guest Hero to all Children Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 HERE Really .. it's not that hard. By the way: Google isn't the only search engine. Just the best one.
Precious Roy Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Shareaza. Agreed. Shareaza is IMO the best P2P file sharing utility out there, and the one I've had the best success with finding hard to find shit and getting fast DL times. It works off of the emule, bareshare, *something else* and torrent networks all at the same time, culling files from all of them. Plus it runs smoothly in the background on my RAM -stressed CPU and doesn't slow down my internet browsing very much. Two thumbs up to Shareaza! On a related note, I had to give up on Kazaa Lite once and for all after I moved back to an old laptop (the newer one has a busted battery input and I've been procrastinating on sending in into the manufacturer). I run the original version of Windows 98 on this computer and EVERY SINGLE version of Kazaa I've tried has freezed up once I start DLing files. Is this a typical problem with 98? I couldn't find any helpful literature on it and gave up all hope of finding a solution
