I was downloading something over night and just checked my machine. I was amazed to see that in my uploads directory there were about 10 uploaded files that i know i do not have. so i did a search for those files and i found them, along with about 40 other files, in my C:WINDOWSUserTemp folder. What the fuck is going on? It looks like someone/thing is useing my machine to store all theyre files. This is bullshit. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it something that kazaa lite does automatically?

Although I am not exactly sure of what you are talking about I suggest that you run a full virus scan on your pc asap. I've had viruses on my machine thru kazaa stored in the temp directory.
I've had to format and reinstall everything once already because of that. wont let it happen again.

That's never happened to me. But, I have gotten virus from kazaa lite. But they were on my system for months and I didn't know. hehe.
I'd scan, I bet you can find a free scanner on the net.
Right now I'm downloading a supposed "E3 halo 2 demo movie" file. hehe. I wonder what it will really end up being.

Just installing norton now. I think kazaa is a great tool but they are shooting themselves in the foot with all this 'behind your back' crap.
Real player is another company that gets my hair up. fuckers

yes i have an f'in virus. Heres its definition.
The W32.Kwbot.C.Worm attempts to spread itself through the KaZaA and iMesh file-sharing networks. The worm also has a backdoor Trojan capability that allows a hacker to gain control of the compromised computer.
It seems to have come from a flash mx crack i downloaded. haha, justice is done i guess. If your gonna do the crime you gotta be prepared to do the time.

What are you downloading? WAREZ, CRACKZ or GAMEZ?
I've never seen a virus in a JPG, MP3, MPG, or AVI file.
Suggest you just stick to Music, Pictures and Films, as Kazaa has a filter
to stop scripted worms and viruses. by blociing certain file types, e.g.
.VBS and .SCR . If it's not enabled enable the filter.

thanks Bio, i have adware, great little app but thats just for ads and cookie etc. I downloaded a crack for flash mx and it had a virus attached to it, it has infected my system32 directory and my user directory and somebody has been using my machine as storage for theyre files. pretty scary, and yes numero1, i will stick to music from now on, i have to do a reinstall now. fuck

oh man sexy...I was trying to download a trail mx crack from kazaa about 30 mins ago - I stopped because every freakin link I tried my norton detected )and erased) that very virus!

my version of norton is unable to fix the virus, i have quarantined 2 files
cmd32.exe
and
system32.exe.
does anyone know if these files are needed by windows xp, or are they created by the virus.
Jevad, you lucky lucky bastard =)

system32 and cmd32 are valid files....
couple suggestions: lose nortons and get mcafee virus pro (email me if you need a copy) to check for these things....nortons really is garbage. I would also lose kazaa, for the obvious reasons, and use better p2p tools...
depending on what you need, dc++ and furthurnet would cover a lot of it....

Hey green, thanks for the tip. I used to use direct connect but it kept crashing on me, might go and see if its been updates since i last used it. Kazaa lite has been good to me up until now. It was my own fault as i had no virus software insalled.
BTW those two files dont seem to be valid files. i went to a few forums and they said thatthey should be deleted as they arew part of the virus, i also had to chage some stuff in the registery and everything seems to be going fine.Info on cmd32.exe http://www.experts-exchange.com/…
Info on the system32.exe file:

hope this doesnt happen to you guys. I think i got it just in time, i hope.

Try Diet Kazaa http://www.dietk.com/
it's more refreshing, and less filling.
