Just make sure to get rid of BDE software [part of kazaa] every now and then, unless you want to become part of their "network".


Taken from the KaZaA EULA [installer for v1.5]

Hey, you have a lot of ---- on your machines. I have a javascript that's supposed to detect some stuff but I don't know if it works because I never install evil stuff. Could you go here (http://w1.181.telia.com/~u18109800/parasite.html) and see if the page tells you something? :)

I wrote that so the page wouldn't be blank. I should have said "if it tells you anything besides Hi!".
