kazaa/gift fox infected my pc

last week someone installed Kazaa on my pc - which infected it with loads of spy/adware - I highly recommend you dont install this pile of poo on your pc.

I think my antivirus even spotted tojans on this poo which I had to remove!

it has taken me hours to remove the crap but now when I boot up I get a 'giftfox' page appear instead of my home page - even though my home page is still set to yahoo.co.uk!

if you close this and reopen explorer you get giftfox again! but after a couple of attempts, it gives you your normal home page! AVG anti virus doesnt spot any trojans or virus. and adaware shows it as clean (now)

anyone got any ideas.

Re: kazaa/gift fox infected my pc

Try Spybot S&D, I assumed everyone already knew Kazaa was riddled with spyware, hense the release (and subsequent withdrawal) of Kazaa Lite which replaced the spyware with dummy files.

Kazaa lite has been dead for a few weeks/months now.

Re: kazaa/gift fox infected my pc

The Sharman Network has withdrawn it but have not said it cannot be used or downloaded so unless someone can tell me why I should, I will not remove any link to it. If it transpires that it is breaking any law, the link will be removed.
