Luckily, I had never heard of Kazaa before I downloaded Morpheus.  I first noticed the name from the @KaZaA user names, and I didn't know about the built-in spyware...

Anyways, I've never had much performance hit from using Morpy, but that may also come from having a sucky connection and only grabbing the occasional file or two.

Also, since I bought XP Saturday, I find that it requires at least a 266 Mhz processor, preferably something over 300 mhz, 64 mb of RAM at least, 128 mb _highly_ recommended, and the overall performance boost has been incredible.  Example:  On 98 and 2k, FS2 was little more than a slideshow in 1024x768, 32-bit color.  Now, 32-bit color actually runs faster than 16-bit!!  Not much, but it is phenomenally faster than the same conditions under 98

But as for anyone that would intentionally try to plant spyware, or find some legal means of remotely controlling my computer:

hahahha

all so funny...

Companies and Agencies don't target individual users for illegal programs, though they rather target people supplying and hacking into these progz. Whether you know or not each person's computer is protected under the privacy act, which in simpleton terms means if a company hacks into your computer and finds illegal progz they can't take you to court because they have just violated an act which they can be prosecuted and be dismantled (the company that is)...

On other matters I knew Kazaa before I got Morpheus though I always used the online search and never layed my fingers on kazaa d/l prog..

Actually, Outlook is reasonably safe if you diable the preview pane.  Even more secure if you are able to disable HTML and Javascript in your e-mail.  I don't use outlook (and never will) so I don't know if you can disable HTML and javascript.  I know for damn sure you can do it in Mozilla (and Netscape).
