Kazza

[Guest]

Please help! Ive been trying to get rid off Kazza for three solid days....ive
tried Add/ Remove but get an error message so cant do it that way. J=Have
tried kaazabegone but its left it in list of programmes and now when i try
Add/ Remove it says it says the specified module could not be found. I cannot
remove 'best offers' either as its linked with Kazza (wish id never installed
it!!) Its causing Explorer to cut off and the whole system is V V slow. Now
my printers stopped working.....is this all connected? How can i get rid of
this thing????

Try Google for results, as I just did. These are a few links that might
help you:

I assume you mean KAZAA.

The uninstall for Kazaa in Add/ Remove is phony and should not be used.
Download and run KazaaBegone as the first step.
http://www.spychecker.com/program/kazaagone.html

That will remove Kazaa. Your computer is also massively infected with
spyware as a result of having loaded Kazaa. Now follow Peter's re. other
cleaners particularly Adaware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy, and
SpywareBlaster. If you don't have up to date antivirus software installed,
that's a must also.

Follow the other advice you've gotten. Then, if you'd like to follow a
rather long and involved procedure for cleaning up your machine, go here:

Everyone I've known who's followed those instructions has been quite pleased
with the results. They're extremely thorough.

Actually, it doesn't matter WHAT you'd like to do at the moment - you HAVE
to find out what's in your machine after Kazaa is gone, or you're going to
be miserable.
