<div class="IPBDescription">Virus warning</div>I dont know if this is old news, but i just found out about this virus called the Benjamin Worm, you can get it pretty easily through kazaa, it appears to be a normal file until you try to open it and it gives you some stupid error.  Then its registry edit time if you want to fix it.  Just lettin kazaa users know they should be careful.

    Kazaa users should also be watching out for <a href="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.elem.trojan.html" target="_blank">Elem</a> as well as the aforementioned <a href="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.benjamin.worm.html" target="_blank">Benjamin</a>.

    File sharing isn't all hippy love and sticking it to the man. It's also allowing millions of random people to access your hard drive, and you accessing theirs. You're just asking for trouble...

    Kazaa users should -also- switch to <a href="http://www.kazaalite.com/" target="_blank">KazaaLite</a>, as it doesn't contain resource stealin' crapware.
