The guy you spoke to probably deleted components of Morpheus or Kazaa
which are P2P clients for downloading. They contain monitoring
software which will install on a PC. When Adaware removes these
components the P2P software spits it's dummy and won't play no more. I
doubt Adaware would be able to stop ALL downloads from the net. Kazaa
Lite however has no spyware.
