[ale] OT: Infected Winbloze machines

[Taylor Robison]

a good alternative to kazaa is gnucleus.  gnucleus is an open source p2p 
client for win32 available on sourceforge.

I no longer install free (as in beer) software on a machine unless I get 
the source with it.  Too much spyware and adware....arrrrr.
