This new money stealer is just plain sick.

Also Dela, to remove Savenow go to Start>Run>Type msconfig in the run box>Click the Startup tab>Uncheck the checkbox next to Savenow (in the list)>Click OK

That should remove Savenow.

I use edonkey to download a lot of stuff. It has a lot of servers bases out of europe and some in the States also. The great thing about edonkey is you usually get what you think you are getting. None of this childish renameing files to something they are not. I am not sure on the spyware. I dont think it has any. I also plan on downloading Kazaalite. I tried DC and HATE it!!! It is so hard to find what you are looking for if you can even get in a sever....Most of them want you to have 10-15 gigs shared. I have upped my shared limit over what some of them want and it still says I dont have enought. If you can figure edonkey out and read the info on the site about how to get the most out of it ....you will be hard pressed to find anything better for finding what you want. The only bad thing I guess I can find with edonkey is the speed can be kinda low from time to time.

oh yeah the page to edonkey (as if most you dont know already) is www.edonkey2000.com

Direct Connect is the best of em all. You just have to get used to the fact that the more you share the more files open to you. You can get movies and stuff there that other p2p networks dream about.

I have forgotten that address for the cd_clint.dll (I dunno how I typed that message without it!!!). I'll find it again of coarse. There is another site on the net where you can search for it and will find it but if you are offended by excessive porn content then forget it!! http://www.cracks.am

God damn! This is taking it too far. Spyware and adware is already bad enough, but this...
Some sites are run freely because of the income from this kind of stuff. I couldn´t find any of the mentioned files/apps, another good thing about KazaaLite.

Isn´t it also directly illegal?
It´s right-out stealing.

BTW dRD, where did you get the info? You didn´t mention a source. It´s not that I don´t trust AD, just craving for some more info.


Dela: Or use a pop-up eliminator, Opera has this feature in the settings-menu. Don´t worry dRD, I don´t block your adds.

In the Finnish language version of this site, dRD gives New York Times as the source, but does not specify a URL. (Leaving the source out from the English translation must have been an oversight on his part.)

Anyway, NYT is not the only source on this, as this has in fact been confirmed already a couple of months back by other sources.

This is an issue that deserves a lot more publicity, questionable practices like that must be stopped.

Ah, sorry.. Oversight from my part, the source was New York Times and direct URL in Finnish site wasn't provided, since their registration page seemed to time out when accessing to the page directly. Anyway, it's from last week's Friday, if you go to the site, log in and browse archives.

is there any p2p that dont have all the porn crap on them?

Thanx! I already use WinMX and eDonkey, i just like being "DESTRUCTIVE", when it comes to "spyware", "adware",and F'N, "stealware!"
But I must agree, the verdict is still out on "Direct Connect". I'm still in the tinkering mode, can't seem to "con-nect".


Guess the worlds not ready for "High Speed Dial-Up!?

Hi, I want to publish a frontal campaing against Kazaa and other harmful p2p software. Where I can get more and precise information.

BeerPeer:

If you can read/understand the Finnish language, I truly envy you!!!

Dag Nab It! Not that it will likely be very helpful to me, as I can't understand a dang word of Fin, but anyway, what's the url for the Finnish site?

(I can only grovel at the posts found therein, but I'd like to check 'em out anyway).

Many thanks,

The news article:

No, sorry.

Ouuuuu!

This can be tricky!

Seems that after penning a short message to one of the Finnish forums (I know not which one), my "cookie" got corrupted and/or changed! ("That'll LEARN me").

Gee, I hope *this* message 'takes'.

(Yeah, Ghostdog, it a 'happening' place over there!)

-- Mike --

Taking this one step further, stealware is parasitic in a way that destroys itself and the businesses it feeds off of.

1) becuase revenues fall affilaite based sites can't survive

2) if they dissapear who will stealware steal from?

Stealware completely distroys affiliate marketing as a valid online revenue model. The implications of this from a business perspective are huge.

You are all full of it!
Think about this: when you download some software, chances are you're using it illegally, i.e. without a license.
If that's not stealing then I don't know what is!
I admit I download stuff that isn't mine, but then again I'm not complaining if the people who provide such facilities make a little bit out of it too. Who cares? After all, I've downloaded THOUSANDS of pounds worth of stuff all for FREE!

i have "limeshop" which causes my browser to have the most annoying window on the left. with advertisements and their own search results. it is driving me bananas , to the point i dont even use search engines anymore.
i go to LIMESHOP under add/remove programs and when i try to remove it, it says ERROR can not find path specified. if anyone can help me, please email me at *edit by Jannejt.. another 3-4 years old post. =)* THANK U!!!

nickrock, try Ad-Aware 6, its the best product to remove spywares and advertisements. Try it and buy it from www.lavasoft.de

i fixed the problem .. i basically deleted everything and got some program i forgot what it was but if anyone has the problem i can find it. just email me. i now use kazaalite, its so great, no spyware,
*edit by Jannejt.. why do you guys even report these old offensive posts? i think spambots got those emails years ago =)*
nick morano ny ny

Why don´t you sue them?

eMule is the way to go. Its open source an uses the donkey network.

I'm waving the bullshit flag on afterdawn. I checked for these programs in my add remove list and never found them listed. also did scan's and searches nothing came up

FlakMNKEY: Hopefully you understand that you're reading an article from year 2002 (it states it clearly below the article title..), things change in four years -- bad publicity has forced the companies who conducted **it like this to behave.

Now you be nice, FlakMNKEY, or I might be tempted to wave 'bye-bye' to you.

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since 2002. Where in heaven's name have you been?

(Hmmmmm.....) Didn't a little birdie mention to me recently, something about .... "200 days past the date of the last post within the thread"

OK, let's see..... [..... last post in thread was by newbie 'Morgwen' on January 7, 2004, so that's like.....[counting on fingers & toes] ... ummmm....]

Oh Wow! Now that's what I call "200 days! <ggg>

Klingy: Ah, the 200-day limit doesn't apply to news comments :-)

"Get Pro for a single payment of only £21.95". LOL
What they don't tell you, if you do not update:
Limewire will hack your computer and cut you downloads to 4 hosts;
They will keep flashing the folowing message in red and black altinating:
" A newer version is available, update? ". ..Underlined.

Oh My Gosh! ....

I just gotta give credit to AfterDawn - this is awesome - whether 'News Reports' or regular forum posts, receiving email notices from past posts (5 Year's ago) is simply outstanding!

(From this, I assume that A/D intends on hangin' around for awhile?) <ggg> ;-)
