Getting Rid of Kazaa

[Guest]

I have tried to add/remove Kazaa from my PC with no luck. An error message pops up saying a .dll file is missing and the file can't be deleted. I have manually gone into the program files folder and deleted the kazaa folder. I have heard that kaaa begone can harm my system and internet connection. Any suggestions for me?

Try reinstalling it, then doing an uninstall. Then run something like
adaware to see if there are any registry/files that shouldn't be used

Hi Ryan - The following is courtesy of NT posted at:

Kazaa Removal Steps:

"1) http://www.phazeshift.co.uk/
dl the cd_clint.dll file and put it back in the right directory. chances are
it got deleted when running a spyware removing program.

2) go into your regedit. go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\current version\uninstall. The
first few folders under this will have a bunch of numbers and letters. click
on each one of them and look in the right pane. look for anything that
mentions kazaa. delete that folder from the left pane (the whole folder).

3) http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/kazaabegone.zip
dl kazaa begone. run this and kazaa should be removed from your system. then
try running spybot to make sure all the spyware is gone."
