yeah, it seems to install a bunch of spyware. there's a program called "ad-aware" from lavasoft (you can find it with google) that searches out spyware, and it finds a ton when i install kazaa. when i get rid of it, kazaa won't run. the ad-aware site probably has a better definition, but i think that spyware is basically any kind of hidden software that either tracks your movements for marketing purposes or that displays ads and so forth. besides that, i've found kazaa's results to be much fewer than audiogalaxy's. with audiogalaxy, i found tons of out of print obscurities, tracks by artists with no distribution, etc. kazaa doesn't seem to have as much of that kind of thing, but maybe it'll blow-up now that audiogalaxy is no more. hope that helps, jesse On Tue, 25 Jun 2002, carlos torres wrote:

Does anyone use kazaa to download mp3s? Now that audiogalaxy is dead, im looking into installing kazaa. Ive heard it installs spyware and other useless bundles of software into your computer. Im not clear on what spyware actually does, does anyone know? The big question really is: is Kazaa a program worth downloading?

Thanks for your response -ct
