P2P Networking Peer Enabler ist häufig mit Software wie Kazaa gebündelt, aber es kann auch manuell installiert werden.

It came either with a Kazaa installation (that we removed, Kazaa is not good at all), or the cablemodem intaller.

It comes with Kazaa. Runs constantly however, and when I delete it from programs and registry, it comes right back, even though noone has used Kazaa.

if you want to use kazaa take the risk and keep it!
psycho

herve

It is spreading to other networks
DUDE (further information)

Netlimiter doesnt seem to pick up any traffic from it. I picked it up when I got shareaza I think.
l3p3r

it installs adware from gain, remove it but when you start kazza it will be automatically installed again

It's a required aspect of Kazaa. It allows scanning of your hard drive for music as well as downloading capabilites. You can disable the feature of sharing your own files on Kazaa, but still kinda risky. This is how they catch illegal downloaders.

It is from the creators of KaZaa and apparently does the same thing. It has no business being on my network servers and the fact that it's there means to me it is dangerous.
