Bl**dy adware

[t1grm]

Just installed the latest version of Kazza and am now trying to get rid of all the adware that comes with it . I’ve removed perfectnav and mysearch but it says to remove GAIN I have to uninstall Kazza. Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove GAIN without uninstalling Kazza?

I had to remove DivX Player to get rid of Gain! Try uninstalling Kazza and installing Kazza Lite. Same thing only without the popups

Ad-aware is your friend. (www.lavasoftusa.com).

Yeah definately try kazaa lite it seems to find more results also

Adaware is good as is spybot search and destroy though not sure of the adress for it

Spybot Search & Destroy

That spybot is a very handy tool. Unfortunatley Kazza will not work without GAIN unless you pay 30 USD (you get nothing for free - apart from lot of adverts) so I'll try Kazza lite.

Uninstall Kazaa.

Download, install and run Ad-Aware

Download, install and run Kazaa Lite K++ (Spyware free plus loads of other goodies).

Sorted (and not a BA in sight!)

www.lavasoftusa.com is the place for ad-aware.

There's a free version I think but make sure you hit the 'update' button.

Always worked for me.

You really need to use both ad-aware and spybot - they both protect against things the other doesn't. For example, Spybot blocks the download of adware (Avenue A, Inc. seems the most popular) and spyware, but ad-aware just searches and cleans your system.
