Kazaa lite doesnt have ads or spyware.

PLUS it works great with Wine (http://www.winehq.com/) :)

To follow up my mid Oct post:

KaZaA is still launching ads in the local zone.  KaZaA was contacted 6 Jan
03 via their bug report page.

"Pop-up ads are being spawned from the local hard disk.  This puts them in
the local zone.  Scripts running in this zone can be harmful."

I am now awaiting their response.

To immunize KaZaA from this defect I have removed the permissions from the
directory it launches ads from.  This has a nice side effect of not showing
ads.  The directory to secure is:  %WinDir%\AdCache
