And after removing Kazaar I would suggest doing a virus scan with up
to date virus software, then scan for and removing any installed
spyware.
If you are in need of virus software, here are a couple to choose
from, for free.
Download the software, and in Update Manager run Update then do a
complete virus scan.

Search and destroy any installed SpyWare/malware/adware:
Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans
your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware
components and lets you remove them safely. After installing
Ad-Aware make sure to run the update feature before scanning.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ For large amounts of installed
spyware and such, it may be necessary to run Ad-Aware several
times to clear them all.

Here are a couple more removal tools that should also be run.

SpywareBlaster:

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it
from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is a non memory resident
utility. It works by setting a "kill bit" for the CLSIDs of spyware
ActiveX controls, it prevents the installation of any of them from a
webpage.
