Originally posted by BowmannI am not familiar with Kazaa, but I have teenage children. It may be something that they use. They put all kinds of things on my computer.

I recently downloaded this Spy-Bot and ran that, but I still have this Altnet registry key thing popping up in Adaware, and SpyBot finds it also, and says it can only fix it on with a restart...problem is, it doesn't fix it on the restart, just tells me that it will fix it on the restart AGAIN. A bit frustrating.
Sorry.
Do you use "Kazaa"?

What is Kazaa
Of course businesses didn't like that, so they had the US courts shut Kazaa down. 🙁
But I guess the site is back up now and you can still d/l songs but you have to pay a charge for them.
Anyone please correct me if I'm mistaken cause this stuff changes weekly!
