A warning about Altnet from Kazaa lite

I got this in an e-mail from Kazza lite check it out.

I just found this out
—————————-
On Monday 27th, Sharman Networks (owners of Kazaa Media
Desktop) will release an
upgrade to version 1.7.
We HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT download this update, until we have examined
the update.
Word has it that it contains a distribution of AltNet, which I like to call
“crapware”.

It’s a highly controversial piece of spyware which bears many of the same
characteristics as Trojan software.
AltNet can completely take over your machine’s resources – in fact it’s possible
for Brilliant Digital (the programmers)
to do virtually anything to your PC once this software has been installed.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

We will definitely release a full security report once we have examined the
update.
In the meantime, stick with your Kazaa 1.6.1! It is fully functional.

I will let you know about anymore info I have but I recommend you check the site
for the next few days.
