Spybot - search & destroy evil browser hijacking

[Paul]

If I didn't have kazaa, I wouldn't have any viruses, kazaa is responsible for 95% of all the viruses I get...

direct p2p2 with no filtering , it cant be stopped and half the things on there are supid like , Shrek 2 full video , right click it look at hte filename ( heintai.mpep ) , its terrible

[Dan]

HEY, dont diss p2p. there is nothing wrong with p2p. it is like the web, there is tones of good stuff it could be used for but there is also the dark side of it. Dont think that everything on p2p netwroks is evil and should be taken down just beacus the RIAA and some other musick poleop say so.

P2P reperstes what the internet realy is, the free flow of ideas, thougths and hole lot eltes. it is free speach, and when u have free speach some poleop abouse it yes but that dose not mean we should get ride of it!

[Paul]

My dad tells me not to use P2P cause I might get sued... for downloading 5 songs?

[Dan]

well if u live in canada the odds are much lower but are still there. what u need to do is get kazaa lite k++ that has the RIAA ip blocker

[Paul]

I dunno, I have a barricade router... does that help any? cause those stupid sites that say:
WARNING
YOUR IP IS:
blah blah blah

usually get mine wrong

[Dan]

not realy, becuse it can still be traced to u since the data has to leave the router and make it to the destation via ur isp some how. alougth it probly dose not hurt, blocking the RIAA ip range and using some setting in kazaa lite k++ will help, such as dont let poleop see ur full share list.

u could allways not share anything but then that defites the proupes of P2P and poleop will get made at u.

that is not completa true, canada has difrent copyright laws but it is not complty leaglie to download anything. it is far safer in canada but it is not leagl, just that it is unlike that they will come affter u. i whould still take percontions if u are dling anything that could piss some one off.

thats the whole stoy , they have lealized movie downloads and mp3 , becuse they have put a levy on mp3 players just like they did on cd-r's

[Dan]

well if it is true then that is realy good, it is a step in the right direction. i think it is a gr8 idea to put tax on recodred meaid and not sue the hell out of every one.

[Paul]

nah, they don't sue everyone, I read they sue a few for examples to everyone else, what I was afraid of was being one of those.

[jonos]

lots of people were freaked out. i sent an email to my friend who has downloaded probably 30 gigs of games and programs (warez), using the anonymous email, and he got really freaked out. he was pissed off though. i always thought about downloading, if you are not the one downloading a song every second or not the one who has like 100 gigs of mp3s, then you will probably not be investigated.
