How Do I Remove Kazaa and its installed programs?

Simply because of the legal implications, it may be a good idea to uninstall Kazaa. The problem is what is currently installed with Kazaa 3.0 and what can be removed. Follow the instructions below to uninstall the programs and associated files attached to Kazaa.

1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel

2) Double-click on Add/Remove Programs

3) Find "RX Bar" and click Change/Remove at the bottom of the window to begin its removal.

4) Find "InstaFinderK" and click Change/Remove

5) Find "Need2Find Bar" and click Change/Remove

6) Find "Peer Points Manager" and click Change/Remove

7) Find "P2P Networking" and click Change/Remove. Warning, this program may have already been removed by a previous step. Don't worry if you cant find it in the list.

8) Find "Kazaa 3.0" and click Change/Remove. Once this is removed restart your computer.

Once the computer is restarted, there are still some files that need to be removed. If you run HijackThis, you'll find the following lines still remaining.

O2 - BHO: RXResultTracker Class - {59879FA4-4790-461c-A1CC-4EC4DE4CA483} - C:\Program Files\RXToolBar\sfcont.dll (file missing)

O18 - Filter: text/html - {2AB289AE-4B90-4281-B2AE-1F4BB034B647} - C:\Program Files\RXToolBar\sfcont.dll

Check these files and remove them with Hijackthis.

Next, Remove the following folders from the hard drive.

1) Open My Computer, Drive C

2) Double-click on Program Files folder

3) Right-click and Delete the following folders

ALTNET
INSTALFNK
KAZAA
NEED2FIND
RXTOOLBAR
Also delete the file UNINSTALLNEED2FIND.DLL file in the Program Files folder


4) For Advanced Users - Remove the following folders in the Registry

A. Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and click Ok
B. Click on the pluses (+) next to the following folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE
C. Right-click and Delete the following folders if they exist

INSTAFNK
KAZAA
NEED2FIND
P2P NETWORKING
RX TOOLBAR
SKYPE
D. Click on the pluses(+) next to the following folders (starting from the top again)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
E. Right-click and Delete the following folders if they exist

ALTNET
KAZAA
MAGNET
NEED2FIND

SHARMAN NETWORKS LTD
F. Close the Registry Editor and Restart the Computer

Now Kazaa and the other associated files should be removed from your computer.

What is saying that you are infected , and with what?

And have you tried the instructions above to remove kazaa? Or try this:

KazaaBegone: A Kazaa uninstaller which scans and removes all elements of all Kazaa versions, as well as all of the bundled software that comes with it.
Warning: This version has a bug that can cause your Internet connection to be broken when removing New.Net, WebHancer or CommonName. An update is being worked on. If you still want to use KazaaBegone, download LSPFix to fix your Internet connection (download it before you run KazaaBegone, of course).
Currently at version: 1.10
-> Download from CastleCops
-> Download from Subratam
-> Download from OfficeFive
-> Download from BleepingComputer
-> Download from SpywareInfo

ya even after i unistalled a similar program to kazaa i had to format my hardrive cause their were so many trojan viruses it slowed down my computer

all these spyware popups keep coming up...
it tells me that my cpu has slowed down because of spyware ect...
it is so annoying. Can we start from the beggining again and try and fix it up...
sorry for the hassle...

No hassle , just abit surprised. And sure , if you are infected again then follow the "Prework" instructions again and post the Ewido and Hjt logs. Then we'll have a look at them again.

But make a new thread for that in the hjt section please.
