that's an online virus scan - it's pretty slow though so you might want to leave it on overnight or sometime when you're not going to be on the computer.
As for blaargh.exe it's a virus.
Check out http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99560.htm for more details
it may be a client virus thing - this allows 'hackers' to connect to your computer and play around with it. Some clients allow you to send weird messages to the computer you're connecting with.
Or it could just be built into the virus. Either way, the 1 definition of a virus is that it's self replicating. It's probably best you do a virus scan to check that's not the only one.
Bollocks, i know where i got it from now. Thanks very much.
Thanks to shyboy aswell. I don't have any inti virus software like a mupper so i will download that thing you said.
Kazza? The best virus spreading software around.
Like I said try the grisoft AV software as well. And look into getting some kind of personal firewall also. Not sure what the best one is but I'm sure when this gets moved to Computers and Net someone will post some kind links.
Good luck.
Yep, i was about to moan that Chris downloaded summat as i rarely do, then it said if you download summat called "Xbox emulator(works)", and thought oh shit it twas me.:o
:yes:
:nervous:
To be fair, you do 'agree' to let them do that when you install Kazaa - but no one read the licence agreements on these things anymore.
I read the license agreement on k-lite. It told me by installing it I was breaking the law
Thats the one i had, can't be that great.
I have just removed 8 virus's from our computer.:eek:
Well it doesn't stop you downloading viruses yourself! It just doesn't install any spyware with it, which the original Kazaa does. The bastards.

I have now thanks, did earlier when ninja said. All sorted. Got the same one you have posted .
No, it's not.
The spyware is a real problem with KaZaA though.
All p2p and ftp transfers bring with them the risk that youve downloaded something nasty, so the best thing to do is have AVG or NAV installed on your [puter in order to get rid of nastuies easily.
As for the spyware, if you dont like it then uninstall kazaa, get adaware from Grisoft and delete the remnants.
Yep.
Though whenever I say KaZaA, most people know I'm talking about KaZaA Lite.
Dunno why people even bother with the official KaZaA
me neither.
and btw - big .exe files can have virus' that are only 100kb or so implanted into them kinda so it's always best to check your files with a virus checker. i use system restore
