Uninstalling Kazaa?

    Any suggestions on how to uninstall Kazaa? When I go via ‘Add/Remove Programs’, half-way through the uninstall process I get an error: “C:\Windows\temp\adware\setup_perfectnav.exe can’t be found” and un-installation aborts.

    I’ve tried re-installing Kazaa, but another inaccessible file error comes up?

    Any suggestions on how to remove? Should I just go into Explorer and delete the files?

    you removed the adware and now it wont uninstall?

    Yeah, I'd run Lavasoft. Most have deleted it.....

    There are two files that can not be accessed. One won't let me uninstall, the other won't let me install.....

    firstly make sure none are running in processes in the task manager.....
    then round up all the kazaa rubbish....and use eraser found here eraser to delete it all permanently...
    you may need to go into registry.....

    Go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ and get "Hijack This".It'll list all the programs that are hidden on your computer. You can select which ones you want deleted and it does it for you. Just select all the ones with perfect nav in the name. But be careful, some of the other dtuff maybe importan, so only take out the perfect nav unless you know what your doing.

    Kazaa also installs loads of Gator stuff, so if you haven't already done so, you should delete that too.

    It's funny that they actually called the folder 'adware' :)
