I noticed that as soon as I installed Morpheus 2.0 I had the program sentry.exe (spyware)installed and set to run at startup. The thing that made me poke around was the fact that after installing Morpheus I was unable to access the internet through my browser..AIM and MSN Messenger were not affected by this. So I went into add/remove programs and there was this IPInsight entry I never installed. SO I uninstalled it along with some other WURLD shopping community software (installed by Morpheus also) and after the re-boot I was able to access the internet via my browser. So not only are they installing spyware but the spyware must be using/blocking port 80.
Also, after uninstalling IPInsight it left the sentry.exe entry in my registry to run at start-up(but it did delete sentry.exe) and failed to delete the sentry.lgc file in c:\windows\applog. So it's possible that Morpheus might try to download the sentry.exe file to your computer in the future. And it would be all set to run at start-up. Just a theory.

Sentry.exe is SPYWARE. I had to use "Xteq Systems" to remove it on my win2K system. I will route your geographical location and internet connection information to a monitoring company. No matter how maney times I deleted it, it came back. I'm glad I used this statup program.
