Comment: Hello, I've downloaded en installed shareaza (a p2p program) for the first time and everything looked nice and clean, but after a while, my kaspersky anti-hacker says i'm attacked with a DDoS attack but that kaspersky fixed it. This happens I think everytime when I run shareaza. Does anyone knows something about this? Do I have to remove shareaza? thanx, Victor

Reply: (edit)Are you downloading video files when this occurs? Many times these downloads contain "licenses", which are stuffed full of malware. Kaspersky is doing its job trying to protect you from all the nasties that can come with p2p sharing files.

Reply: (edit)No, I was just downloading some mp3 files. Now I'm trying a Bittorrent file, an album, and it says the same so I don't think it comes from the files i'm downloading... Is a DDoS attack dangerous btw?

Reply: (edit)I only use shareaza and have never had a hassle. I use sygate and AVG and I only get the occassional port scan but that's it. I have downloaded a few large files, on dial up, using shareaza that have taken 5+ hours and never had a problem. I would look further into what else you have running. D4Dog
