Kazaa File Sharing Software installs an advertising Virus
The Kazaa File Sharing Software installs an advertising Virus that highlights key words in your browser software. It is a simple matter to remove and seems to cause no real harm, but it is annoying. The virus is installed by the Kazaa installation (kmd.exe) when you fail to turn off the default install switch that asks if you want to install Savenow, a plugin that tells about "great shopping offers". You assume a nice little menu item and or a popup window that you can easily close. What you get is continuously mangled web pages. Certain key words are hyperlinked to advertisers.
This isn't a ripoff, but it can be annoying that the display off web content is unexpectedly changed without explicit, educated consent.
