I keep getting this alert popping up on my desktop and I
don't understand what it is at all. It is has P2P
Networ.... at the top of it's little window and it says
that it "can't start server". So, I have something
configured wrong or what, I don't have a clue. My
internet is working fine but that little pop up is really
getting irritating. Can anyone tell me how to make it
quit! Thanks

This is a program installed with Kazaa. If you try to uninstall it, it will
tell you the Kazaa, Bullguard AV, and another program may not function.
Just ignore that message and uninstall it, I did with no problems.

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.

Change the obvious to the obvious.

Do you have any spyware-laden peer-to-peer virus sharing
applications, like KaZaA, installed? If so, remove them and then
clean up the spyware.
