[all variants] Big Thumbs Down for Zeitgeist

Has anybody experienced any wierd issues with Zeitgeist?

I don't want to (yet) get into the deep details of what happened to my Ubuntu Studio setup.
I was able to extinguish the problem, but pretty much the whole hack/spyware subarea that got created on my system without my permission was reliant upon Zeitgeist for it's persistent existence. And it was involved with making visible backup copies, without my permission, of files I had recently deleted.

I know Zeitgeist may have normal regular uses, but on my system, it was being used against me, the admin and Digital Audio Workstation owner.
In my opinion, it really has no business being on Ubuntu Studio and is just extra bloat, like Samba, for those of us who never use Samba services or programs.

Does anybody else have any experience with Zeitgeist being used as a vector for spyware/unauthorized installs/copies/system modifications?
