Help,


Some rougue shopping guide program installed itself on my machine, or my wife accidentally allowed it to happen, and now my machine is over run with adds ect. I cannot run adaware, the program finds over 300 critical objects, but freezes when I try to remove the objects. Virus scan turned up nothing. Ran hijack and deleted a bunch of fishy stuff, however several listings would not delete, and now kazaa will not open. there must be a link. I am posting here to see if anyone of you'all out there might have some usefull advice for someone in my situation. I'm desperate. Please let me know.

first use this http://downloads.pcworld.com/pub/new/privacy___security/ad_blockers/spybotsd13.exe (http://) to remove spy and ad ware

and then use k-lite 2.7 beta2 to download files :http://www.realityradio.org/internationalforums/index.php?showtopic=10520

Hey, you already created this thread. Its just been moved to the software forum cause you have more of a spyware/adware problem. I already posted a "solution" on the older thread. You can view it here, http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showthread.php?t=88095

Thanks much! I tried all the suggestions. After installing kazaa lite 2.7 beta 2, and then running the program, i got to a screen that said kmd 2.7 could not be found in the kazaa folder. It instructed me to download a file, and then run the program to install necesarry components, but for the life of me I cannot get it all to work. Do I make sense with what I am saying, and can you tell me how to get the new version to run? Thanks.

or here if the download doesn't work : http://70.84.248.34/~fikzpja/index.php?page=p2p/klite27 :devil:

So here is what is happening. I can install the program, when I did the nsane version it did not even have me do any of the things with kazaa shield. I get pst the point where I choose a user name, connection speed, ect. and then finishe the installation successfully, but from there every time I open kazaa, a little hour glass appears for a couple seconds and the logo appears in the tool bar, but the buck stops there. The [program never loads. So i am back at square 1. One other oddity. When installting the program at the final step an error mesage appeared that said something to the effect of C:WINDOWS/SYS32/Hosts..something or other.. Host not found. I hit ok and and it says merging host with a little filling scrollbar and then finishes the installation. Hope this is enough info. I really appreciate all your advice. Thanks.

did ya get rid of all ya ads and stuffs?

[foodforthemoon]

Am running windows xp pro on a 1.1 ghz, 512 mb ram, 120 gb hd machine. I was told from another forum that I might have something called a peper trojan, because files I try to delete using hijack program, do not delete, even in safe mode. It could be that this is affecting kazaa as well. After installing the program according to the instructions here, it still will not open. I am following some instructions for peper removal at present, and will let you all know how it goes. Thanks for all the help so far.

[foodforthemoon]

After getting rid of the peper virus, I am no longer getting any adds and stuff. Internet explorer is completely disabled on this machine, freezes and cannot navigate anywhere, and then tells me it is sorry but it must close. I use firefox anyways. But I still can't get kazaa to work. I am tempted to wipe this machine clean and start over, but I have over 100 gb of info on the hard drive, that I do not want to lose. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

since kazaa requires internet explorer, you will need to fix it for kazaa to work.
yes using spyware removal tools instead of using the ADD/REMOVE first may make things worse then they were to beguin with.

Alright See If This Works, Move all the data you want to keep out of your "My Shared Folder".

Then Uninstall Kazaa with Add/Remove Programs or Use Crap Cleaner which you can get here (http://download.ccleaner.com/download116.asp)
or go to www.ccleaner.com

Using Crap Cleaner, Install, Open and then click tools @ the top, Then uninstall.

Now Download K-Cleanup (http://gameglitch.com/nsane/filez/~user/kcleanup.exe).

K-Cleanup removes Kazaa COMPLETELY, No if's or buts about it. Get all the data you want out of your 'My Shared Folder' to a secure location just in case.

Ok, You have Kazaa uninstalled, Now try to use Ad-Aware or SpyBot to remove all of your spyware. Get Ad-Aware here (http://aaw.edskes.com/aawsepro.exe) & Spybot here (http://ssd.edskes.com/spybotsd13.exe).

If those don't work download spysweeper here (http://sales.webroot.com/downloads/registered/links/sspsetup1_906541.exe) and search or P.M. me for a serial.

Ok, So we got all the spware/adware of your computer. Choose Nsane's K-Lite 2.7 (http://70.84.248.34/~fikzpja/php/?file=klite27beta3nsane.exe) or Get the Latest Version of Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.4 By Dg_Mortal (http://home.insightbb.com/~dgmortal/files/klitekpp244e.exe)

To Keep your computer in shape and block adware/spyware download Supertrick 1.6 (Download here (http://klitetools.com/MM/SupertrickXG.zip)) & also another very good tool is CWS Shredder (Download here (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Popup-Ad-Spyware-Blockers/CWShredder.shtml))

After that just make sure you have decent anti-virus software and a good firewall which you can find help on here (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/t26227-.html)

Thanx Hope This Helps :)
