I ran 2 spyware apps after reading your post and nothing I then manually searched my reg again nothing. Could you post where in the reg your spyware says it is located. The first thing I would suggest is to DL WinMX and see what kind of speeds you get with it . I am not recommending WinMx it really is not a very good but I have never been able to find any spyware associated with it and it is free. I just want to see if you are being filtered.

As far as what speeds you should be seeing my connection speed test similar to you I am a little faster. On individual files with 8 to 10 connections they will vary from 5kb to 150kb depending on the people who I am receiving from.

A good way to test is find a popular artist that has 20 files that are 4* and with 4 to 20 or more host for each file, click on the first 20 files and see what your speed is mine will usually be 550+
Hi Grandpa,

Thanks for your help so far.

Ok first thing, this is all the info I can get on my spyware nuker utility the alerts info now past the point of the kaza install:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RegisteryKey Desc = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Magnet

RegisteryKey Desc = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\magnet



RegisteryKey$SeCURITY_ATTRIBUTES.class coms/ms/wfc/app

RegisteryKey.class coms/ms/wfc/app


Version: 3.3.17.2

OS version: Windows XP 5.1.2600 [Service Pack 2]
Web Browser Version: IE:6.0.2900.2180;
Date/Time: 08/29/2005 13:17:41


Kazaa - Bundleware 953 Bundles adware programs and reinstalls them after they have been removed.
Registry Key 55546 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\magnet
Registry Key 55570 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Magnet
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since I have now updated from limewire source (im guessing) to the newer version limewire not from the reseller site do you want me to delete them to get the alert results? they might not come back if it was the reseller that attatched them. The original site was http://onlinemovieaccess.com/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Second part I downloaded WinMX and TEST ran 2 X about 1pm Thai time.

First message:

"This computer is unable to recieve incoming TCP connections from the internet, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Says is not required and will still be able to up and download just larger search results.

TCP 6699 UDP 6257

Did as you said and clicked first 20 files of popular artist in winmx and highest I saw was 8,855 bytes p/s down to 623 at the slowest.
Most files have gone red 5 green and look to be downloading, maybe not the best time of day for the test, I will try again evening.

I did the same test on limewire with the same artist got up to 35 KB/s at one point, drifting about widly but I would gauge an average of 15 KB/s, just checked again and seems to now be holding over 20 most of the time. Is that good? better than before for sure and obviously down to my downloading method but I still can't see how you could download a movie (for example) like that, would take days surely?

Anyway a bit wiser thanks to your help Grandpa and let me know if you want any more info or test done regarding this Kaza reg thing. I wont touch it until you say so. Can see the next problem will be removing it permenantly! just out of curiousty do you know if Kaza would be responsible for that invasion on my computer, legally I mean? Can I complain to anyone, there must be a way to stop these practices if the companies adding all this spyware are legitimate companies, I get about 5-10 cookies a day for monitoring my surfing habits.

Thanks again,

moziman
