The people over at Spywareinfo have posted an article that tells which P2P programs have spyware installed with them and which ones do not install spyware on your PC.

Its a very good read and I think everyone should check it out to see if they can clean off the evil crappy spyware on their PCs.

I use Shareaza simply because it's clean... The only way you get Spyware is by downloading certain videos and music...

Interesting point, since my sister is home from university I decided to have a little test. I didn't scan for any spyware for two weeks, and made sure to barely use the internet. I found that there were aprox. 20 different types of spyware after that two week period...
