For those of you who haven't heard of KaZaA, it is a p2p (peer to peer) file sharing network. You can download music, pics, videos, software, etc. As of right now, over 86 million people have downloaded it. One of them is me. I haven't had any problems with the program except that you get a window popup every ten minutes or less.

Download KaZaA at the website
www.kazaa.com

It is the best p2p file sharing program I know of. Competitors are BearShare www.bearshare.com
Morpheus www.musiccity.com

I do recommend updating your anti-virus software before using this program. Being that it is peer to peer, you are downloading files from other people who may have a virus. Just be on the safe side. :D

spyware is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet, spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties. Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program. Data collecting programs that are installed with the user's knowledge are not, properly speaking, spyware, if the user fully understands what data is being collected and with whom it is being shared.
