strange shit, companies actually get paid by advertisers (big companies) to provide info for them, like age, race, accupation, where youve been, your favorite sites on the net, your click-through trails, what programs you run,

some even can turn your computer on and use your bandwidth, provided you have a wake-on-Lan network card, which come pretty much as a standard today... i think kazaa does something like this, i remember reading about them doin that,,,

they work with a company called "brilliant digital entertainment" who basically gets paid to spread your info around to whoever will buy it.........


go to ad-aware.com and download ad-aware, uninstall kazaa, run ad-aware, and then re-install "kazaa - Lite" i run it every few days and it always seems to find something....
is this one of the reasons why we get so much spam and stuff like that?


edit
ok i just got adaware and theres no read me so im clueless to what im suppose to do:confused:

no thats the point of backing them up, the backup stays in ad-aware, so if you delete them and a program stops working bc it was misread as spyware you can restore it through ad-aware

but after you delete them, even if you have themn backed up, they wont be spying


some companies actually can use your microphone and pc-cam so turn them off!! crazy
damn.. i always had this funny feelin someone r something could be spying on my threw my webcam so i just turned it around:eek:
