Hi, first time on this forum. Just found it on a search for a KaZaA forum because I had something weird happen that is KaZaA related.

Got email advertising the new Tablet PC and clicked on a link to see further info.

The link took me to this URL:
http://servedby.advertising.com/1/c...2/257405/257405
which resulted in an HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error.
So I clicked on the go to homepage option which took me to http://servedby.advertising.com/

Seems to just be a long list of links to files.
Hang on a moment I think, I recognise these files. They're all the files I've got in my KaZaA My Shared Folder!
Clicking on the links just goes to a blank webpage.
Looked at the source to see if I could see what was generating the list, but its just the HTML to display it.

Even weirder I go back to the email the URL for the link is totally different to the one I ended up on (http://mail3.globalpmnet.com/m/l?197-4be7-1-1oh0-6dipp)
and when I click on it again this is the one I go to.

Does anyone know what the hell this is all about?

You're looking at dynamically generated advertising links. Nothing special about it.
