Eek! Morpheus Preview using a new kind of spyware

Sounds like a good way to make a little money I must admit.

Some users of the popular Morpheus music sharing program are angry over a browser extension program distributed with the latest preview version of the software.
The program, developed by Wurld Media and included with the Morpheus Preview Edition, silently intercepts certain addresses typed by Morpheus users into Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser before redirecting them to their final destination, Newsbytes has confirmed.
