Does Kazaa cost money?

It does now. In the late 1990s to early 2000s, it did not cost any money. I was in college at the time, and I downloaded thousands of songs for "free." "Free" is in quotation marks because, while I did not pay any money for the Kazaa program or for the songs, nearly half the song files I downloaded had viruses in them, which almost completely destroyed my computer.

Now Kazaa is available for $30 a month, which probably means that they have better control over the quality of the songs they have. But I still wouldn't trust them. Cheap music is nice, but having a computer that works properly is nicer.

What sites make the referrer information anonymous?

Sample services

cleanref.us

hidemyass.com

spoofurl.com

linkanonymizer.net

There are more than one ways to anonymize one's referer. The first method

involves the use of JavaScript to redirect the users. This is done mostly

by changing the window.location property of the DOM to the user-requested

value. Depending on the implementation of each site, some will delay the

redirect (possibly to show advertisements) while others will make the change

immediately. From the above list, cleanref.us does the change immediately

while spoofurl.com and linkanonymizer.net have a small delay.

The second method of anonymizing involves the meta http-equiv header

which is an HTML tag that causes your browser to reload a page after waiting

a specific number of seconds. From the above list, hidemyass.com works

in this way.

A third possible method is to use a HTTP Move message which

redirects a user's browser from the anonymizing website to the

requested one. While this method is the fastest, it doesn't always

clean-up a referer (it depends on the browser vendor and version)

and thus usually avoided.

If you receive an email from your bank which emphatically states you must verify your personal information immediately is example of?

A scam, or more precisely - "phishing". The scammers "phish" (the connotation to "fishing" is very correct) for users who will "take the bhait" and visit the scammers' web service, usually made to look indentical to that of the legitimate business they're trying to appear to be, and urge the confused user to enter his real information into their prepared web site.

That information is then commonly used to commit crimes, including monetary theft and identity hijacking/theft.

The easiest way to check if a message is a scam is to verify where it's trying to lead you to, and most importantly, to check on the actual business' web page for any attention notices. If that fails, due dilligence would ask for checking if the exact same web page (the same address and all) can be accessed through normal browsing on the business' web site. If these things are missing or problematic, a scam is very likely.

And don't worry about your details - if it's a bank, or some other large business, they will most likely notify you by other means eventually, if the threat is legitimate. E-mail is not the most urgent communication channel (phone is much faster), and besides, if an account is suspect, it will first and foremost be suspended, and the owner will be called in to personally clear things up - an e-mail is insufficient for that.

Also remember that most (some 99.9% of) services will never ask you for your password. They may ask for an answer to a security quesiton, or may ask you to login to your account and input a special code somewhere in there to verify your identity, but sending passwords through unencrypted e-mails is at least very, very foolish.
