No information about the user's computer is sent or is available to the server.

Thus, Cydoor is annoying but harmless adware, not spyware. As I said, there are enough no-spyware guarantees on Kazaa's site and enough competent users around that if Kazaa did include anything that could possibly be seen as spyware there would be lawsuits galore by now.

Now, next time you want to call someone a pretentious retard, make sure they're full of shit first.
Let me tell you a small & sad story.

Cydoor is a spyware, yes it is, becouse you wanted ONLY KaZaA BUT you got Cydoor(spyware) and other crap with it! KaZaA wont work at all after you have scan'n'remove the spyware. becouse KaZaA NEEDS spyware to work! They need to make some crappy popup windows with Buy Now or Do you want an auto-replacement wallpapers? Even Imesh has some!. Use Edonkey or Emule, No spyware and works fine! Use FTP servers!

Remember: Sometimes you might even FORGET to scan the stuff you download? whatcha gonna do then?
