I just found this out
----------------------------
On Monday 27th, Sharman Networks (owners of Kazaa Media Desktop) will release an upgrade to version 1.7.
We HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT download this update, until we have examined the update.
Word has it that it contains a distribution of AltNet, which I like to call "crapware".
It's a highly controversial piece of spyware which bears many of the same characteristics as Trojan software.
AltNet can completely take over your machine's resources - in fact it's possible for Brilliant Digital (the programmers)
to do virtually anything to your PC once this software has been installed.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

We will definitely release a full security report once we have examined the update.
In the meantime, stick with your Kazaa 1.6.1! It is fully functional.
-----------------------------

I will let you know about anymore info I have but I recommend you check the site for the next few days.
