Hi Sharon,
I've used Kazaa. As Paul said, it really does swamp your machine with
spyware, so I can't recommend it really.
It sort of works with Jaws, but you have to be full of patience.
Every time I use it, I've to run my spyware removal tools, so it's not
really worth it... But there was no way I was going to buy a Lordi album...
I just wanted that Hard Rock Hallelujah song!
LimeWire is meant to be pretty good, but it is a pure Java application with
a Java frontend... and therefore, fairly useless for a Jaws user. I guess
it too fills your machine with spyware, but I'm not sure.
So, I can't really recommend anything that is safe, works well, and is free.
I'm sure my spyware removal tools do miss some of the nasties Kazaa brings
to my machine, but I just won't buy a Lordi album. Or will I... hmm, they
do kind of rock.
Cheers,
Tony
