Kazaa and AdWare
I don't know how many of you guys use Kazaa but it installs Cydoor which is spyware. You can use AdWare to locate the Cydoor files on your pc and then subsequently remove them, however if you then try to load Kazaa you will get an error saying that a file needed to run Kazaa is missing and Kazaa will now close.

This is basically forcing you to have spyware on your pc which is wrong IMO.

So.....I've compiled a DLL which will let you remove Cydoor using AdWare but still be able to load Kazaa.

If anyone wants a copy I'll post it. You simply put the file in C:\WINDOWS\System and that's it.

If anyone thinks there is some sort of problem with me doing this then let me know - it's not illegal?
