W32 virus in Diet Kazaa - P2P-Zone

mrtoca · 27-05-03, 11:05 AM

It seems my PC picked up the W32 virus from the executable for Diet Kazaa.

If I remember correctly, I downloaded it from www.dietk.com via a link on www.download.com. I've also downloaded copies from Kazaa itself and every copy has contained W32.

Thought you might all want to know!

Their site has been down for a while and maybe permanently. I uninstalled diet k a while ago. It's no longer needed; Kazaa++ does a better job now. I wonder what the story is with that virus.

www.dietk.com seems to be back up again today with nothing mentioned about the virus. Best to check your copy of Diet Kazaa though.
