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".

I use kaZaA lite but am getting a pop up to "upgrade" to newer version got fed up of clicking NO to this and tried installing it but says I can't install the new upgrade becase I have an "old version" WTF??

anyway what I want to ask : is there anyway of turning this particular pop up off.

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
