My personal opinion, which some people disagree with, is that
an operating system which allows an application program to
crash the whole computer is fundamentally broken.
I suggest getting a competent person to replace win98 with somthing more reliable.

I assume you are using the bullguard antivirus that is built
into kazaa. You can turn it off. Disable scanning of shared files
in the options.

I have little confidence in bullguard. I suggest getting a
different antivirus program, if you don't have one already.

Personally I don't run any executable files from kazaa.
Don't run any programs from kazaa unless they have been virus scanned.

Checkerd boxes? I see spotted elephants sometimes but not checkered boxes...

By the way, this belongs in the Kazaa or Kazaalite forum.
