If you've been following tech news lately, you've already heard of KaZaa, an application that's infamous even in the Wild West world of peer-to-peer file swapping. CNET News.com revealed last week that KaZaa bundles piggyback software that could allow third parties to use your computer to distribute their own content. Even if you're savvy enough to disable the extra software, you can't opt out of installing it, and we (CNET) can't endorse any application that abuses the trust of its users. If you're after file sharing, stick with Audiogalaxy or LimeWire. As a result CNET, ZDNET and DOWNLOAD.COM the internets largest software aggregation site have removed Kazaa indefinately.

I believe that Nullsoft should follow suit and remove (KaZaA Winamp Plug-in [Component ID: 40442]) from their servers.

Lets keep Winamp trojan free!
