By definition a peer-to-peer software will need to scan your computer to find out which one it can use to a) share files in your computer to other peers and b) download files to your computer.
Kazaa is also spyware. Meaning all your searches/click-on-a-link/etc is being reported back to them (you got it) on yet another port. I would suggest using something like Ad-ware to remove the spyware features of the program, keeping the functionality, and simply do not download anything you don't know what it is. Even the best firewall cannot protect you from yourself.

Hello, My son has installed Kazaa on his pc. My personal antivirus is reporting that kazaa (I suppose because it's port 1214) is scanning my own PC from ports which increase regularly. I googled to try and find information, but I have not found this behavior described. - Can anyone help me? - Is it the normal Kazaa behavior? - Can I prevent it? (other than de-install kazaa) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:33:21 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1031,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:00 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1054,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:00 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1055,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:00 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1056,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:02 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1064,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:02 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1065,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:02 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1066,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:02 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1067,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:18 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1071,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:35 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1078,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:55 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1119,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:56 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1120,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:56 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1121,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:35:56 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1122,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:36:12 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1135,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:36:12 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1136,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:38:39 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1234,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:41:07 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1284,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:41:37 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1288,192.168.0.2:1214,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:41:58 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1290,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:42:49 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1302,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:43:40 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1317,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:44:31 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1318,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,12:48:01 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1319,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,13:00:26 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1320,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,13:12:52 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1330,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,13:25:18 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1332,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) FWIN,2002/10/11,13:37:43 +2:00 GMT,192.168.0.3:1333,192.168.0.2:139,TCP (flags:S) Thanks, Chris
