CA also warned about similar P2P networks including WinMX and Blubster because of software that they have bundled with them.

Perry said that some programs that have been labeled pests have been given that name because it is not yet clear to the computer world what exactly spyware is. It seems every different anti-spyware program you download has differences in what it classes as spyware.

You can download clean versions of Kazaa called Kazaa Lite (Resurrection) and Diet Kazaa.
