Make sure its not running in the system tray. If the program is completely closed it wont access the network server. Look for the little ICON near the clock or hit CTRL ALT DEL to see if the program is open. If it is, then just close it.

Firewalls won't help for a properly installed program that is just doing it's thing.

Here's some info for anyone using Kazza or other P2P networks. The music industry is starting to fight back by creating or changing files so that they are corrupt and then putting them out on the net. The result of this is you get bad files when you download and it takes more bandwith and multiple downloads to get the songs you want. It seems like this is just a first attack in the RIA's offensive. Here are some links on this.

I use Kazza and WinMX alot.. I actually end up buying MORE cd's after downloading songs from the web!... I get one or two of the artists songs, like them and then go find the CD so i can hear more of their stuff. While I MAY be a minority on this, I dont think that they are hurting as bad as they say!

You can set the Kaazalite settings to NOT allow sharing from your computer.

Your using the wrong KAZZA lite you need the hacked striped version NO spyware any your in control of what is shared
read up at the site below , Trust me Im an IT professional
and was the one to recommend OSO advertise ADSGONE
Blocking software.
All sharing software should be installed as to NOT start
on its own. and I only recommend users of NT win2000
or XP use them , cause files in your 98 95 Me, do not have security features
make sure you run a copy of ad-aware by Lavasoft to get rid
of any files that Kazza left.

the modified version of Kazza is available and is striped of all
spy or other crap. All downloaded files from any share program
should be scanned before use.
