kazaa lite has you copy a host file over your original which will negate most of kazaa's popups and banner ads

Your computer has rabies

 

[Wduaqnug]

than your brain has tumor. if you haven't realized by now that your rabbies posts not funny

format c:\ will get rid of the problem...

boot from a system book disk and then type "format c:\" at the command prompt. It will get rid of kazaa and then you can reinstall a fresh copy. Just leave out the quotation marks.

So that's what happened to my computer...

I have never use any file-sharing software before (napstar, kazaa), and a couple of weeks ago I was bored and thought I would try out kazaa lite... After I installed it, I started having trouble with the internet... some sites would work fine while others couldnt be reached... Initially I thought it was my ISP, but after a while I said 'fxck it' and formatted my PC... Now it's working fine again (of course I didnt install kazaa anymore), and I would never install any file-sharing software again...

It's a file named 'hosts' in your windows directory... just do a search for it on your computer...
