Someone please tell me why Kazaa is Spyware?

[cnhoff]

What does it do?

Does anyone know any other P2P client worth using?

it's a spyware 'cause it keeps a log of stuffs like your keystrokes and pretty much what you do....
but as someone has mentioned...
spyware part can be removed.

do a search on OT forum

Kazaa is spyware free....during the install process, there will be an option to install 5 programs...the first one is Kazaa, the other 4 are spyware-ish...just don't elect to install them, and you will be fine.

The Kazaa interface is just like Morpheus used to be...

Wrong, it also installs cydoor. I'm not sure what the cydoor crap does, but it's listed everywhere as spyware. There are cydoor dummy dlls that cripple it though, if you look for them.
