I'm kind of new to using kazaalite. I used to use WinMx, but I think it went belly-up becasue i haven't been able to connect in a hell of a long time now.

Anyway,... I was wondering if I could get a little info on KazaaLite.

I downloaded and installed version 2.4.3. Firstly, it doesn't connect.

Secondly, when I ran my A squared program it said that it had discovered malware, and that malware was the registration keys of the Kazaa program.

I have on my comp 4 programs that I use in tandem with each other. They are Spyware Blaster, Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and A squared. Only A^2 flagged the registration keys.

Any info on this? Should I ignore the warnings and keep trying to connect, or erase the program all together and try something else?

Thanks for any help.

you can patch winmx so it connects: http://www.mxpie.com/

I downloaded and installed version 2.4.3. Firstly, it doesn't connect.
you can update your supernode cache: http://snode.awardspace.com/snode.html

Secondly, when I ran my A squared program it said that it had discovered malware, and that malware was the registration keys of the Kazaa program.
some programs detect sig2dat/magnet entries in the registry and assume regular (spyware infested) kazaa is installed. ignore it.

Should I erase the program all together and try something else?
i'm sure most people would tell you that. :w00t:
