Yep, that's it. Safe as in what? legalwise or securitywise? Either way, it's safe.

kazaa lite is free of spyware and all that junk. HOWEVER, the kazaa network itself is chock full of viruses, trojans, worms and whatnot, so I've heard.

Absolutely right Force Flow. K-Lite itself is free of spyware but any file you DL could contain it.

Course, it also looks like kazza does, as well. After all, that Romanian guy claimed it was stolen from him.
