SonySpy has Spyware?


Question

I saw the link to download SongSpy and I downloaded it to give it a try. I still havent found anything that can compete with Napster when it was in its prime....

Anyway the next day I noticed msbb.exe in my taskmanager and I knew it was something fishy. Sure enough Ad-aware said it was bad :mad:!

Warning! EZULA module loaded: msbb.exe (C:WINDOWSmsbb.exe)

I am not 100% sure that SongSpy is at fault here but it seems likely because its the only thing I have installed recently. If there is one thing that drives me bonkers its spyware!!! At least things like BearShare give you some sort of warning and a chance to optout. Couldnt find a thing about this on songspy's site at all.

Just a little warning for the rest of you if you tried Songspy. It actually worked quite well for me but it still doesnt have the masses of users or servers to handle them like Napster did....oh well.

ps. if anyone finds that songspy doesnt include this spyware please let me know so I can try to hunt down the ****** app that installed this, dont want to be spreading false acusations.

I use KaZaa. Its like a music community. Weird thing is its just like filenavigator. ie. A few companies use the same software just with slightly different configs and the software title.

Anyways KaZaa seems to do the job for me. And the reason I use it is cos it looked the best graphically :)

www.kazaa.com

the other company is MusicCity.com who have Morpheus

[edit]

Just found out fastTrack make the software
