This whole embedded spyware thing really comes as no surprise. First it was banner ads, then pop-ups, then "discreet" pop-ups, etc. Everyone is looking to make a buck, despite how this spyware might interact with a person's PC, let alone the privacy implications involved. I still use Kazaa when DC doesn't do it for me (rare) but I think I have managed to remove all offending extraneous software.
