You still haven't told me what you meant....... err... a leech is a animal, "leeching" is a VERB taken from that animal's method of survival. although strictly SPEAKING it refers to sucking blood it easily applies to anything where something is sucked... for example, Data in the case of a P2P network "leecher".

Although I contend it has nothing to do with trojans or Id theft...
