IE 6.0 and Kazaa Trouble, help please

[osumarc]

Hi, every time I am running kazaa and internet explorer at the same time I run into this problem. The minute I try and type anywhere in an internet explorer window with kazaa running, IE crashes. I have all the latest updates for both IE and Kazaa. I haven't run into this problem without kazaa running. And I really can't remember exactly when it started, but I want to say its only been about a week. have no clue what to do about it, outside of using kazaa, which I like to use. Any thoughts appreciated.

you need to reformat, and never install or mention the word kazaa, then you will be fixed.

i know what the problem is, its the spyware on kazaa, that screwed up ie for me too, u have to remove it first

That is a common problem with Kazaa, the best thing to do is to not open another browser when you are using Kazaa. I know this isn't the answer you wanted but I dont know if there is any way around the problem.

found at least part of the problem

I have been using an older version of mcafee virus scan, the problem only occurs when all 3 are running together. I am gonna try to get a different virus scanner and see how that works out. And yes I now that Kazaa sucks

remove the spyware

Go to www.lavasoft.com get ad-aware remove the spyware from your computer then replace the cydoor dll (windows/system32) and that should fix it

I don't think the dummy cydoor file works on Kazaa.

P.S. I hate Kazaa.

new antivius fixed problem

well I installed the new norton and now I have not had a problem yet. I still hate spyware, but until I find a real good alternative for kazaa, I will be stuck I guess. By the way suggestions for good alternatives? I have tried winmx: don't like it. Morpheus is gone. Don't really know what else is out there.

I am using the fake dll

I am on kazza as I write this and I dont get any ads at all with the fake dll installed and all spyware removed so yes it works just fine like I said www.lavasoft.com for ad-aware and the dll

 

[existenz]

Really? hmmm...CyDoor is apparently not too bad now...They got a lot of heat, but they've tuned it down...

I would've use Kazaa if they had taken out the BDE projector. I hate that piece of crap. You can't uninstall it without uninstalling Kazaa. And it's not a nice media player. In fact, it sucks and it is spyware...

bah, sticking with WinMX and eDonkey2000...

 

[osumarc]

thanks Kermit worked great

thanks kermit, that seems to work great, as for not being able to remove the bde projector, I was able to remove it simply using the xp add/remove. didn't effect my installation of kazaa. Finally, I am spyware free, until the next program gets me. Thanks all

 

[osumarc]

adaware pick up that dll as spyware

is that simply because the dll is suposed to be tricking kazaa, so it is thinking it is actually spyware also?

 

[Shamus MacNoob]

coolies

Well with ad-aware you will be able to find the spy crap and keep it clean!!!!!! and yes the fake dll tricks kazza into thinking its still untouched........ and your welcome

 

[Shamus MacNoob]

duh sorry cant read lol

yes add the new fake dll to the ignore in ad-aware its clean but because it has the exact name ad-aware will asume the worst lolol but rest assured the fake dll is not doing anything except tricking kazza
