While I was away from GTPlanet on holiday I checked out my cousins new laptop a HP *cringe* - I was actually quite impressed because of its brand name status. It had allocated DDR Ram from video and it pumped out smooth graphics in plenty of games.

Anyway to cut to the chase, he had installed Kazaa on his computer because he was too lazy to get Kazaa Lite. Well he got Ad-Aware to remove the spyware but there was a program called Save on his computer that repeatedly popped up mentioning good deals and that if you removed it you would loose all the benefits :rolleyes:. He had run Ad-Aware and to remove this program and it didn't work.

I arrived on the scene, I went straight to see where the program was and found its folder. No uninstall utility. I read the readme it said:

You can remove Save by going to the Add / Remove section in Control Panel - but why would you want to remove Save, you would miss out on all the great deals we provide for you!

After this I headed straight to where I new I should've gone earlier. Once in Add / Remove it was nowhere to be seen. I was pissed off to find no uninstall utility for it either.

So I ran Ad-Aware again, still nothing. By now I was getting hungry and my stomach was beginning to get control over my brain but I was determined to fix this problem.

My brain clicked, what if it has already been quarantined. I checked the quarantine list and low and behold Ad-Aware the spyware remover removed the Spyware remover!

I restored the uninstaller and uninstalled Save and lived happily ever after.

The moral is - Ad-Aware smells and so does Kazaa.
 
I advise you all to not use any form of Kazaa. Quit being lazy, go to a music store, and buy your music. Go to a store and buy your movies. The quality of what you buy puts everything on Kazaa to shame.

That's the spirit! 👍

People wonder why music has been degrading over the past few years. Pssh. Can you people honestly look in your mirrors and deny that you're thieves? I wouldn't be able to.

Did you try to download again? Perhaps your download was corrupt by the time you finished...

I use Kazaa (Lite) to evaluate my music. I might download a couple of songs and if I really like the band, I'll go out and buy the album. I not long purchased Disturbed - The Sickness after Race Idiot/Mista Y recommended Stupify. :)

I don't download movies, and I don't buy them either. Why buy a movie, when you can rent it. After you've watched it a couple of times, it just gets put up in the shelves and very rarely gets pulled out again. A waste of money buying movies/DVDs if you ask me.

Finally, I agree with you that the quality of a genuine product is far beyond that off pirated. I was given a copy of C&C: Generals. May I note that game was burnt onto blank CDs, so I immediately suspected it was pirated. I installed it and the sound kept skipping and the the game kept freezing. I went out and purchased the game from the local video store and the game runs smootly.
 
Yeah, I usually rent DVDs, but I usually download music, because I usually only like at the most about 4 songs from one artist, and I like having them all on the one CD...:)

Yeah, Shannon, I found myself a little trick to get real games for about $6...;) Rent the game for a day from your local video store, go on the internet, find a "No CD" crack for the game, install it, and you're ready to go...:embarrassed: Hey, I'm a cheapo, and proud of it! :P

I rent DVD's to sample, see if I like the movie. If it's something I like, such as Gladiator, Office Space, or the like, I'll buy it. If not, then I won't buy it. Much like testing video games...
