also have you noticed when using kazaa that you get a pop up asking you to install something that will uninstall adaware and spyadware? They're trying to get rid of the tools that prohibit them from advertising. HA!

Kazaa will also bring up the virus? If so, RIP Kazaa!

The type of email has an attention grabbing subject with a attachment.As for Kazaa, you can't get the virus threw it but if your computer is infected you can spred the virus to anyone who downloads songs from you. if your computer is not infected, you could get the virus if you download a song from somebody who's computer has the virus. I will keep you posted and please ask more questions if needed
