Just go to Google and type in the app's name followed by the word spyware and do some quick research. For example type Kazaa spyware in Google and you'll see what I mean.

There's a bunch of really cool freeware out there, and a HUGE amount of "free" SCUMWARE. Be careful.

I've used Spybot Search & Destroy coupled with AdAware SE Personal for YEARS (starting with Win 98 and now on Win XP Pro) with MARVELOUS results! Once in a great while I'll go to a 'free' online scan just to check things out. My machine(s) always show up squeaky clean!!!

These guys would catch an open source program, load it with spyware, compile it where it was no longer open source, and offer it for download. Got to be where you couldn't download there without picking up spyware if you got a few programs. It earned a bad reputation with me. Now in the past, download.com decided to attempt to clean up their act and restricted the types of programs they would allow on their site. Since once you have these sort of folks in your domain digging gold with the members, it is hard to get them out, I tended never to go back. Plus there seemed to be some serious holes in the definitions of what was deemed ineligible for offers. Maybe they got it straightened out, honestly, I don't know. Still I won't to this day go there or download any apps offered. I guess you could say the reputation stuck and forever tainted me with distaste over ever using the site again.
