Put cydoor back so i could try and stop grokster from crashing!
and then fixed it again and found all these rubbish entries mostly reg and the ad cache
so i used these instructions(from the now defunct grokhack site)
GROKHAK PROJECT DISCONTINUED...
ALTERNATIVE HACKS:
1) GOTO
WWW.KAZAALITE.TK (EXCELLENT WORK)
2) YOU DONT TRUST KAZAALITE AND WANT TO DO IT YOURSELF ???
OK HERE WE GO...
GET KAZAA OR THE NEW GROKSTER, INSTALL IT WITHOUT SPYWARE, REGISTER ...
USE AD-AWARE (
WWW.LAVASOFT.DE) AND REMOVE **ONLY** THE REGISTRY ENTRIES OF CYDOOR
(KEEP CD_CLINT.DLL AND CD_HTM.DLL OR ELSE GROKSTER / KAZAA WONT WORK)
THEN GET THE REPLACEMENT/PATCHED .DLL FOR CD_CLINT.DLL
(
http://www.cexx.org/dummies.htm)
PUT THE PATCHED CD_CLINT.DLL TO YOUR \WINDOWS (OR\WINT)\SYSTEM32 FOLDER...
YOU'RE DONE... NO SPYWARE CALLING HOME...
IF YOU ARE AN ADVANCED USER THEN DO THE FOLLOWING ALSO IF DESIRED:
GO TO YOUR \WINDOWS (OR \WINNT) DIRECTORY AND FIND AdCache FOLDER
DELETE IT AND MAKE A NEW **FILE** NAMED AdCache (NO EXTENSION)...
MAKE IT READ-ONLY FROM PROPERTIES (RIGHT-CLICK)...
DONE!!! NO BANNERS
MORE SECURITY ?? MORE BANDWIDTH???
GO TO \WINDOWS(OR \WINNT)\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC AND OPEN WITH NOTEPAD THE FILE HOSTS (NO EXTENSION)
ADD TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FILE THE FOLLOWING LINES
127.0.0.1
www.brilliantdigital.com
127.0.0.1 desktop.kazaa.com
127.0.0.1 shop.kazaa.com
127.0.0.1
www.bonzi.com
SAVE FILE (REMEMBER WITHOUT ANY EXTENSION)
DONE AGAIN !!!
MORE???
GO TO YOUR HARD DISK AND SHIFT-DELETE BDE FOLDER...
SORTED???
CHEERSSSSSSSSSSS...
but in xp i found the AdCache folder in system32 so removed it and put the file in its place there!
