File wipes? Either you caught a trojan or you fucked up. How about running a firewall? Damn you. :huh:

Do you have windows washer with the kazaa plugin?


This plug-in cleans the recent file list, recent downloads, and all shared files from your c:\program files\kazaa\my shared folder directory.

IMPORTANT: This plug-in will cleans all files from your "c:\program files\kazaa\My shared" folder. Be sure there are no files that you wish to keep in this directory before using this plug-in.

You are a total joke! The RIAA doesn't have the ability to bust through hardware firewalls and top-of-the-line virus programs to delete files.

Try harder a-hole!

Hay, I remember another member, TIDE-HSV, said it almost took 50GB of his My Shared Folder, but Norton asked him to confirm first. If I remember he dl "Pirato" or something which had a nasty auto dialer and went after the shared folder through the reg settings. Hay what ever happened TIDE-HSV anyway.

:(

Sounds like someone hit the wrong "KEY" but anyways you might try backing your share folder up weekly or every few days that might cure the problem, only a dumbass can delete both of them, sorry didn&#39;t mean to be rude but you might have deleted by mistake or maybe someone else did.....

:o I only posted this as a warning, Its a simple problem to solve by backing up your files. If you want to believe that I deleted my folder and can&#39;t figure out how to look in the recycle bin, then so be it. You&#39;ll remember this post when your folder gets cleaned out and you lose all your precious rare MP3&#39;s and videos it took weeks to download.

norton might have deleted it and put it in the protected files which is part of your recycle bin. it does that at your request. so you messed up somewhere

Most of you guys are so paranoid about the riaa it&#39;s hilarious. They are not going to get anywhere by coming on message boards like this and telling people things that have gone wrong as a result of sharing. As he said if you are worried you can back up your files. or you can share directories instead of putting stuff in the shared folder.

The RIAA can&#39;t do that, its ILLEGAL. you could sue the sh*t out of them if they actually hacked into your pc. Most likely a trojan.
