Does anyone have an updated list of file-sharing programs that place spyware on your computer? As I recall, it is as follows.

Spyware: Audiogalaxy, Bearshare

No spyware: WinMX, Morpheus, Xolox, Audiognome, File Navigator, Aimster, Napigator

Recently, I heard that Grokster, Limewire, and Kazaa place a "clicktillyouwin" trojan on your computer when you download them. Should these three apps be placed in the "spyware" category?

Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
These links should help:
