You can download ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com/, that works good for getting rid of spyware.

Last time I checked Kazaa hated Mozilla.

I've had no problems. I use dietK to loose the ads, as well. And, why would Kazaa have problems with Moz?

This divorce went badly. Kazaa got the house, the car, the boat, the money and alimony. Mozilla got the kids.

I don't know it its Moz particularly, but a while back Kazaa started getting all bitchy about how I couldn't have a pop-up blocker on my comp and run the program at the same time. The only pop-up blocker I have is on Moz, so I assumed that it was the problem

Anyone who has chatted with me knows that my AIM is a piece of @#$%.

Heh, use dietK(link), kills all the ads real quick.

AIM? I hate AIM. I boycotted it. Too many ads, too many popups, adaware took spyware off from it yes, and in addition it has this stuuupid horrible habit of playing sound clip advertisements without my permission and there was no way to mute them. They pissed me off because you be watching movie or whatever and suddenly it would be interrupted by "learning center, by playschool, buy one for your little one today"



So.... when I formatted my new HD I got a *cough* cracked *cough* version of trillian pro. I'm never looking in AIM's direction again!

I use Trillian too. It doesn't work that great for sending and receiving files but other than that I love it.

Yeah, I have problems doing a direct connect with non-trillian users. With a trillian user it works like a charm.
