    It may be part of Kazaa. But it is a computer nasty. It's been known for a long time that Kazaa contains spyware, and you've just found some of it.

    You can leave it there if you choose. However, do not be surprised if you are targeted with spam/popups and/or other strange and annoying behaviour.

    You have to ask yourself is it worth the risk. Most definately this file is a very bad thing to have on your computer.

    Kazaa is not good for you at all but, when you delete it via add/remove programmes, I'm not sure it deletes all components. Perhaps someone more "techie" can advise how to COMPLETELY remove it???

    sorry browntoa. I did see your earlier post but when I went to X-RayPc it talked about helping "technical users".

    That's not me! Thought there might be an idiot's guide somewhere. :confused:

    Antispyware wont remove kazaa from your computer. Only the spyware bits. This could then cause a problem trying to remove the whole program.

    Have a look HERE for instructions to get rid of the whole of this program.
