It is a software used to exchange any type of files through P2P networks using a protocol called Fast Track. Among this range of file transfer videos, pictures, music, documents, books, photos, programs or applications and in different formats, such as mp4, mp3, avi, wma, aac, mov, flv, mvi, divx, jpeg, gif, png, 3gp, etc.
The Fast Track uses a new technology based on super nodes to relieve the stress of traffic there is on these points, making downloads not pause and take their course, and provides a slow system and the ability to resume stopped downloads and also can choose the server where the faster download or download several simultaneously.
This program and its Fast Track protocol were developed by Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom, working several months to complete the project. The program was launched in March 2001 by the Consumer Empowerment company of Dutch origin.
Kazaa is used exclusively for the operating system Windows although it works for others, emulating on Ubuntu, Linux or Mac OS X, and to join the Fast Track network will have to use some emulators, one of them is the MLDonkey.
Besides the original Kazaa software, there are some very similar derivatives such as Kazaa Lite K + +, or Kazaa Lite Resurrection having more tools and extras, not as spyware brings the Original Kazaa network.
In software and transmitted live among many users of malware, because once someone put malicious code such as spyware, so that when you run a file already downloaded, the system can detect it as a virus (although not) and that to remove spyware should completely erase all the downloaded program, then present some malware that Kazaa can bring:
Gain: A spyware (spyware) developed by Claria Corporator and mostly installed on computers that have P2P programs (like Kazaa, Ares or Emule), also cause connection problems in the chat and even in some cases can damage TCP / IP and to solve the problem is to reinstall the protocol.
Alnet: Another spyware and also installed in various file sharing and that their way of intrusion is put advertising of any kind for the victim after running the downloaded file, open it in a curious link or file that is attached and infected, it can also save all the victim has written on the form.
Cydoor: Other spyware is also owned by an Israeli company, in its infancy just hanging advertisements but today is an ad network and making it more difficult to get rid of it because many people use this software to make public their products. This spyware is not detected as a virus, that is why you have to install an anti-spyware for disposal.
B3D: This is a malware while not as dangerous as spyware can be very heavy to put popup advertisements on various websites you visit as well as Pop-ups.
InstaFinder: Another type of malware, works DLL extensions that come to be about log files very light making its entry mode the computer is very easy, you can also enter as a browser plug obtaining that when entering a website , it can lead to another page full of advertising or pop (Pop-ups).
