does it create something like more pop-up ads or something, I mean if it is harmless then why get a program to delete it?

I\'m no pc pro, but from what I understand, just programs that monitor where you go on the net. Kinda like a survey, except you dont get the annoying phone calls. They also take up unecessary memory from what i\'ve heard. I don\'t know for sure. Just what I have heard.

nope its totally free, you dont even have to register on the site.  Just download the program.

BTW:  IT\'s exactly like Kazaa, but there are no advertisments which means no spyware.

Note:  When it installs Kazaalite it creates a dummy file that causes kazaa to think that it has the spyware utilities, but it does not.  But be careful, when you run adaware it will think that this dummy file is spyware, just leave it alone tho.
