If your running kazaa, you will find it is loaded with
spyware, and the only method of getting rid of it
is to uninstall kazaa. then run adaware multiple times.
there was a method of installing kazaa without the spyware
discussed in one of the newsgroups, but I didn't follow it
I would just delete it.
