In fact, even with kazaalite, this stuff gets its way to your computer. I installed it, ran ad-aware and found it was clean... Only a few days later, I noticed my IE was behaving differently, showing me popup ads on sites I knew didn't have any, so I reran ad-aware and found out that somehow, the spyware could be installed on my box. That day, I removed kazaa for good. Now I use audiogalaxy satellite because even though it does have some spyware too, if you remove it, it still works, which is not the case with kazaa
I'm still studying and I used to work summers and even part time while in school but I was always deceived by what happened with the projects I was involved in.
So one day, me and a friend decided we would just start up something of our own and even though it's hard sometimes and quite insecure most of the time, being your own boss beats any other job.
Of course, you still have to deal with your clients, who replace the boss you had before, but once you built a good network of contact, you can simply let it go and work on stuff you really are into while making a living out of your business.
I guess you are not disgusted enough of your present job if you don't make that kind of move:)
