^ Oh.

I always think that getting a virus off a peer to peer is either to do with luck or human error. There must be a way of telling whether something comes with a virus, as viruses aren't usually hard to find with something like that (where you can see the file) Spyware will always be a problem. But alot of people don't know what spyware is...it was originally made for programs that you can only use for a certain period of time and they're the things that stop you using it. When downloading they can easily pass through. all said and done the signs of spyware are easy to spot and it's easy to remove (ad-aware, spy bot, or the new microsoft remover) Oh and the viruses don't come from Kazaa itself but from the people you're sharing files with and stuff as it makes you visable to hackers and people who'll send you viruses. It's like if you have a firewall, makes you invisable and if you have Kazaa people can see you clearly...(Sorry for the length I just felt the need to type.
