    Kazaa is a Peer To Peer (P2P) application that allows users to connect and participate in a file-sharing network. The application itself is harmless, however in order to install the free version the user is required to accept and install several several programs that exhibit characteristics of adware.

    What Kazaa Does

    Displays ads
    Downloads unsolicited files

    Spyware Defence and Removal 2.0

    SpyDefence is a rogue anti-spyware program that goads the user into buying the full program, using scare tactics. Makes fraudulent claims about spyware detection and removal. Applications that falsely claim to improve PC security have become a prevalent irritation for Web users. Rogue security tools, as they are often called, may claim (in ads or on a website) to remove spyware, adware and other Internet threats, but these claims often prove to be unfounded or exaggerated. In fact, many rogue security tools display ads, install spyware and repeatedly prompt the user to pay for a full-version program of questionable utility. Malicious Trojan horse programs are often used to force installation and make rogue software difficult to remove.

    Do not get this program it is on spyware warriors rogue list. Rogue means- Rogue security software is software that uses malware (malicious software) or malicious tools to advertise or install itself or to force computer users to pay for removal of nonexistent spyware. Rogue software will often install a trojan horse to download a trial version, or it will do other unwanted things. The first and still most comprehensive study of rogue and real antispyware programs

    Effects

    The main goal of rogue software makers is to sell their product. Many times fake Windows dialog boxes will appear. Most of the time, they will display a message such as "WARNING! Your computer is infected with spyware! Buy [product name] to remove it!" Usually, when the dialog box's OK button is clicked, this will direct the user to the software's website. Sometimes, even clicking the upper right hand X button to close the dialog box will produce the same effect or activate the software's installation. (Pressing Alt F4 can circumvent that trick). Some software, like SpyAxe will automatically download the trial version without any user action (drive-by installation).

    The people who made this program also made Adware Striker 2 very bad programs.
