Hello All,

After stumbling across this site by accident, i was wondering if anyone could help me, as you appear to know what your going on about. whereas me, i haven't the foggiest!!!

I have just had my computer re-formatted and more memory put in as my computer was very "ill". this cost me money and so i am quite wary about programs etc to download. I have a feeling it was kazaa (original) that caused my computer to go a bit doolally and so i don't want to risk it again.

So, is Kazaa Lite safer? (please bear in mind i'm a bit thick when it comes to computers etc)I don't want hackers on my pc, but obviously i want to download music now i've had broadband fitted.

Is it worth downloading and what are the main differences.

Many thanks in advance!!!!!!

Yes. k-lite is safe. The most important differences are the unlimited search more and no spyware. Read about it here (www.k-lite.tk)

Clean Imesh is out, it should be safe, I use K-Lite, no problems here, Shareaza seems fine aswell. Maybe I'm just lucky. But as above, the unlimited search is the main reason that would switch, spyware isn't of a huge concern to me (So they watch what I do, atleast they are sending me ad's that I like now days).

Do you use a firewall?

You might have the xp firewall turned on?!

Ah!. So how do i turn my firewall off? I do have ZoneAlarm which asks me if i want to access it, which i assume is ok. P.S., have now downloaded kazaalite, but couldn't find the screen that you download from, so all i have is the player. So. now i have piolet.

3rd time lucky eh? TOld you i'm a bit thick!
