Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-clean dept.

Pig Hogger writes "According to this VNUNET article, KAZAA-Lite, a new hacked version of spyware-ridden KAZAA file-sharing software is being circulated, sans spyware. The new, improved version has apparently been hacked by a russian programmer, as a matter of course."

    Every time there's a Kazaa-related article, everyone posts links to the free, sans-spyware version. I think most people already have it if they want it.

    I guess now that it's got the ".com" instead of ".tk" it's official and thus gets its own Slashdot story...

    Dude, when you borrow Billy Gates comdex speech like that, you're supposed to give him formal credit for it by citing him in a footnote, at the very least. Otherwise, you're plagiarizing. It may be no big deal on slashdot, but when you go to highschool, and yes college someday... they'll expel you for that. So it's best not to make any bad habits. Here, I'll help. Add something like this to the bottom:

    ** Portions of this slashdot post were originally authored by William Gates, CEO Microsoft Corp., and presented orally at the 2001 Comdex convention. This post may contain both verbatim speech, and approximations of the ideas he attempted to convey.

    It's been awhile, and your english teacher may give you red marks, but he/she won't be able to accuse you of turning in work that isn't your own. (Note: this won't get you off the hook, if the assignment was meant to be original, and not a research paper).

    No, I swear! I'm not looking! By the way, you already have that Portman jpg by way of four other names, don't you want a Pepsi?

    Oh, for the love of Christ, NO! Not another fake Kournikova! You really must try this latest FREE Nokia Cellphone!!!

    Ok, I've downloaded this funny kazaa-lite thing, what I want to know, is how do I get rid of this trojan that's been running on my i386 for a while - it's commonly known as "The microsoft XP Trojan ?"

    Oh yeah - I remember now, format my HD and install Linux !

    How silly of me :)

    For those of you still getting unwanted pop-ups on websites - er, have you been living in a cave or something ? - time to switch to a new browser ... - one with a back button that does what it's meant to do ... go back
