downloading mp3s

[Ginge]

Hi

Ive used several sites to download music but faults always seem to occur on my pc after Ive done this.(like Kazza,but things that download with that seem to conflict with other programs I have.) Any advice on which sites are good to use???.....or how I can download something like Kazza and not have so many faults like pc shutting down/freezing constantly.

I think I need a new pc.Any advice on what I should get?

Thank You!

KaZaa is well known for its spy/adware installs. All I can suggest to you is if you want to download music etc without the problems of spy and adware you have to pay for it. There are many sites to choose from (too many to list them) just search google for music downloads. Download AdAware SE and Spybot Search and Destroy to rid your PC of the Spy/Adware and you should see a difference.
What are the specs on your computer? To renew it is a matter of personal choice linked with how much money you want to spend.

where would I get the information on what spec my pc is??

Go to Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / System and you will see the spec of your PC.
Also what hardware have you on your PC.

AMD K6(tm) 3D PRO
501MHz
128MB RAM.....use windows XP pro version 2002........I use photoshop, image ready, canon photo program and theres other stuff on which I never use......I have been told that I dont have enough memory for using XP and the other programs!????......often when I use things like photoshop its very slow and sometimes it shuts down and restarts!

Im going to be using my pc alot more due to uni, and will be getting more programs for designing.Im a student so my max would be about £600!

Thank YOU!

i would advice u to use Ares for downloading mp3 's .its a free p2p service with no adware and spyware ...its quite safe . but u should not download all the rubbish things ..otherwise i dont think there will be any problem regarding spyware and adware ....i m using it for last few months and its quite good .(unlike kazaa)

www.aresgalery.org otherwise go to download.com and search for 'ares'

thank you
