Besides Agobot is not a spyware, it's a backdoor which exploit
RPC/DCOM (MS03-026), RPC/Locator (MS03-001) and  WebDAV (MS03-007)
whereas kruegerware and kspyware are real spyware (it's right KSpyware
is not very dangerous, but kruegerware was very dangerous).

PS: I comfort you, Agobot is not the only backdoor to be GPLed.
