how do you know for sure? did you run ad aware or any other programs that can find adware :confused:
 
uhh no, but I'm not concerned, I am connected at 26.4 I don't think any one is going to want to use my recources.
 
then how do you know it worked? ;)

you joining an ad network also might make it so they log where you go and add that to targeted ads, ect
 
adaware apparently doesn't work on this one :devious2: That's why I posted the link.
 
I'm just sayijng the instructions were right. A lot of times you get these instructions that tell you to do something and they are way off. kind of like when I installed my woltlab burning board it said do not put trailing slashes at the end of the file path, but it didn't work until I did that. Plus the B3d ad software downloads the first time youi log onto kazaa, if you watch carefully a little window pops up and you see it downloading
 
would a firewall stop the ad ware to stop from leaving your computer if you press no? or would it disguse itself as a kazzaa update, or what?
