                      I have Ad-Aware and Diet K. Highly reccomend both. As far as I know, all the junk is off my computer.

                          Actually, this article is new. This is not just adware, this claims that kazaa, morpheus etc is actually stealing commission from other web sites.

                          Quote "For example, if you buy a CD from an affiliate of Amazon.com, say some charity, the software fools Amazon into crediting the commission to Morpheus, not the charity!"

                          This is much worse than spyware/adware.

                              You could always download Kazaalite. kazaalite.com. It is Kazaa without all that nasty spyware.

                                      i dont care. because when i buy cds i buy them direct from the band (local) or i go to best buy and pay 12.99 for it and listen to it on the way home.
                                      i dont like signatures. so i turned them off. AO is much better this way.
