DEFINITELY use Kazaa Lite if you are going to use Kazaa, and get yourself a personal firewall. Many of the personal firewalls will stop pop ups, "mobile" code etc. as added "value".

Fuzz, if you download and install the new version, you won't be installing Kazaa Lite but full Kazaa (with spyware).

Try checking the Kazaa Lite web site to see if they've released an update...I just carry on clicking the No button.

Download the ZoneAlarm firewall from www.zonelabs.com

You can also get a 30day free trial of ZoneAlarm Pro v3.5.
If you would like further information on the free trial, drop me an e-mail
