Will KazaA hurt my computer?

[Lehman]

Ok guys heres the skinny. i want a program to download mp3's and i heard kazaa is bundled with alot of spyware thats almost impossible to delete. Is kazaa safe to install on my computer? Im worried that itll mess something up and i dont want that to happen. How big is the risk factor? Also if my sister has kazaa on her computer aleady, will kazaa run properly and not install the spyware if i just put the kazaa.exe(the actual p2p program) on a cd and copy it to my computer? Sorry for the messy post but im tired hehe :). Thanks as always guys :)

Just install Kazaa Lite, it's Kazaa only minus the spyware.

I have Kazaa on my home rig, but I don't use that program very much. I prefer www.winmx.com works a lot better for me anyway.............

I'll second Dan, WinMX is a better program. Anyway -- Kazaa downloads are notorious for having virii up one side and down the other.

I will give another thumbs up for winmx. There is no spyware attached to this one. I run adware and whenever I download music from winmx, I get no spyware detected on my computer.

I use KaZaA, but I have done the little trick found on this website - http://www.geocities.com/little_kingston77/ - to remove all spyware off it, and also disable the funtion that will not let you download high bitrates.
