1. It installs programs which monitor your daily habits (shopping, internet usage, what websites, etc.) and sells that info to marketing companies which then target you. Perhaps you've noticed you get more pop-up windows.
2. It makes it possible to install other programs which you don't want on there. For example, you'll notice some program that starts to pop up to "help you with your shopping needs". In other words, marketing again.
3. It installs a program on there that would allow them to use your computer collectively with a bunch of other computers who use Kazaa to use the processing power for their own needs.
Thus, the links I gave above provide a way to get rid of it and then to use a good version without all that crap.
