Search & Destory has found "altnet" on my PC, how do I get rid of it?
S & D cannot. Even will I allow it to search on 'restart' is shows it there to remove but can't.
1) Does anyone know what it is?
2) Do I need to get rid of it?
I have S & D and it reports it. I have AOL Spyware. I don't have a problem deleting it from the registry I just was wondering why it can't be removed and what it is.

Altnet is a program that came bundled with Kazaa. The program, founded by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, would display "related" songs and videos upon a user's search that were actually advertised songs that usually cost money to play. Denoted by their gold color as opposed to the traditional green for non-Altnet files in Kazaa, the downloads would come not from fellow Kazaa users' client computers, but rather from a localized content server paid for by the advertising companies.
