To follow up my mid Oct post: KaZaA is still launching ads in the local zone. KaZaA was contacted 6 Jan 03 via their bug report page. "Pop-up ads are being spawned from the local hard disk. This puts them in the local zone. Scripts running in this zone can be harmful." I am now awaiting their response. To immunize KaZaA from this defect I have removed the permissions from the directory it launches ads from. This has a nice side effect of not showing ads. The directory to secure is: %WinDir%\AdCache David
