uninstalling programs

[Guest]

When ever I try to uninstall my kazaa it installs it all over again. I have
tried to run norton to see if there are any viruses and there is none. maybe
the file is missing. how can I uninstall something when the uninstaller file
is missing?

This is by design. Kazaa is crudware. Use Ad Aware SE instead
(www.lavasoft.com) and also an antispyware program such as the
Microsoft Antispyware beta program
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en).

Isn't it a bit early to be recommending Microsoft Antispyware. It's a
beta! Have you tried it? It's full of bugs!

I know how to use beta software. Besides, I have been running it for
about six weeks without a hitch. The Microsoft program is a beta only
in the sense that Microsoft made a few changes to the software since
acquiring it from GIANT. I was also running SP2 for months when it
was still in beta form, again without any problems to speak of.

Gerry,
I have been using the Beta since it came out. It found 19 spyware that
three other programs never located. Also the updates are automatic and
so far free.

FWIW I have completed 7 scans and nothing has been detected. BTW you do
need to take care to make MSAS does scan all locations if you have more
than a single / drive partition as the default is only to scan the
system drive / partition. Not very clever if the Temporary Internet
Files are elsewhere. You need to check boxes before all drives /
partitions.

I don't know one way or the other, but I do know that I have been
using the current version for about six or seven weeks and it has
worked great far. The word "beta" doesn't scare me as long as it is
good software, i.e. does what it is supposed to do, without impairing
the overall performance and stability of my system. This software, so
far, fits the bill.
