I would tend to disagree with you.

Winamp IS Spyware. If you look at the detailed logs of your Gateway, then you will see that Winamp sends data from your PC to the Winamp server quite often.

My father noticed this one day when he was looking through the logs and found out what was going on with the internet connection.

And MSN uses a port which make it much easier for hackers to get access to your machine. Ones that work for Microsoft as well.
