It just monitors what you do, possibly logs it. Likely sends it back to Kazaa. Most spyware is nothing bad, more or less for the company to get user information. Some of it is used by law enforcement, like the logs Windows makes. Don't see why people have it so much, your ISP logs everything you do too. If the government wants to bust you, they can.

Haha, no. There are other ways. Using my ISP as an example, the serial number of the modem has to be registered before you can connect to the network. Also, the MAC address has to be registered. Now, you may use a router and they can't tell what computer behind that accessed what, but they still know which account.

If say... they thought I was downloading kiddie pr0n, they could do to my ISP, view all the records, and see if someone on my account did.

Adware searches for spyware.

Spybot searches for more so things that track your history.
