I'm not going to get into the downloading thing - it has been beat to death.
Let's get into the Kaaza software. I've been getting lots of calls and making lots of money from clients who have loaded Kaaza on their computers. They add all sorts of other stuff along with it, programs to track personal information (adware) then programs to give a batch of popups. Of course they take over your computer big time. Some of this stuff is really tricky, you delete it and it reinstalls itself. Gator is the worse offender. The only way to really get rid of this crap is to reformat your drive. When your computer is taken over by a lot of crap software, blame Kaaza among other things.
