A way to get rid of KaZAa & Morpheus

[Andy A.]

I would take a moment to point out that, if you really just want to kill P2P software because of the spyware that often comes bundled, there are several good freeware programs out there that will do a very good job, and are well supported.

Lavasoft makes my personal favorite, Adaware. It's a little harder to find the free version on their site these days, but its there and I've been happy with it.

As for Process Killer, I don't entirely see the point for the same reasons as Cory.

As for WJView, it is a legit process, although it is sometimes running under the control of spyware. Look here for more information.

FYI, if you uninstall the spyware that comes with these sharing programs, they no longer work, so if it's the spyware you're worried about, you will have to remove the program (process killer does the job).

Thank you all for contributing to your own ideas and such on the topic of P2P and related things.

I'd just like to clarify this as best as I can right now...PK (Process Killer) is not an uninstall utility. I never planned on that aspect, and right now I will not add that in. Basically, it's open-source abandon-ware (software not being worked on anymore). The idea of possibly having PK do that is great, and I if someone would like to contribute that to the program, I'd be more than happy to see it, and the like.

Again, I really do appreciate everyone for contributing their ideas and whatnot, even when levels don't balance out.

//// a little off topic
** I'd just like to say that if you do decide to write an uninstsaller into PK, that you will have to do a GUI for it, since PK wasn't ment to be seen by anyone (it tries to remain as invisible as possible). Like I said though, if anyone wants to put that into PK, or write something that does it, and possibly works with PK also, please do so. That is why I love the open-source community **
