To sort it out first this 'guide' is not meant to be the most advanced in the world. Many of yous will know this but it is for those who do not know much about this type of stuff and where to get good programs for protecting their pc (this is a help section after all. It don't say help for advanced users only )
The first place to start is:
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php
and download the FREE AVG Virus Scanner. Once this is installed first of all do a full scan of your pc to check there are no virus' // trojans etc hiding on your pc. Once this is down head over to:
http://www.k-lite.tk/
Kazaa is filled with Virus' in programs so having AVG will stop you getting any virus' through Kazaa. Your main concern at the moment is to download Norton AntiVirus 2003 Professional This program is the best around and will be for many years to come. When you finish downloading the file (there are lots of people out there who are 24/7 sharing this program inc. me so you will get it quick.) Scan the file with AVG. Once it has been given the all clear Uninstall AVG from your system. Next install Norton AntiVirus. There will be a Reboot probably once you have installed it and also you will have to download updates and plugins for automatically downloading updates for the program (this plugin is an absolute gem!) Once this is in place you are well on your way to a fully protected pc.
Note: When you have Norton AntiVirus installed it will do a full scan pc once a week at a time set by you and will scan files when you start to download them and at the end of them being downloaded.
Next on the list is (in Kazaa Lite) to search for Norton Personal Firewall This program will close ports (access routes to your pc from and to the internet) that are not being used. Once you have this downloaded, install it and Reboot and download the plugins (a screen will automatically come up for the downloading of plugins for all Norton programs).
Every program that tried to access the internet you will get a warning for from Norton Firewall. It will also give the .exe name and the Security Risk. When an .exe comes up that you know is safe and you always want access to the net for it (such a msn messenger or IExplorer.exe) click on the yes option, click on the 'Always Permit' box and click Ok. This means that you only ever have to do this once for programs which you want to regularly have access to the net and you know are safe.
Well I think thats all. You have went from NO protection to the best protection in the world Have fun downloading files safely and knowing people won't hack you. Hope this helps some people.
