    Have you tried add/remove programs in the control panel? Think thats how I got rid of it.

    So you tried removing it via windows add/remove software in control panel yes?

    If that doesn't work, remove the folder with all the files in it. Then go to start run and type regedit and find any entries for kazaa (edit -> find "kazaa" and then F3 to find the next) and remove them and then download and run adaware or spybot or both to get rid of any adware that came with it.

    I'm sure there's a better way. In fact perhaps wait for someone else to reply they might tell me i'm wrong - shouldn't have to mess with the registry really. But that's my 2 cents.

    I had a similar problem, the thing kept downloading itself again and again. I fixed it by blocking it internet access in my firewall menu.

    Get yourself Adaware SE & Spybot and scan your machine after you've deleted the folders/reg entries
