Hi Ryan - The following is courtesy of NT posted at:

Kazaa Removal Steps:

"1) http://www.phazeshift.co.uk/
dl the cd_clint.dll file and put it back in the right directory. chances are
it got deleted when running a spyware removing program.

2) go into your regedit. go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\current version\uninstall. The
first few folders under this will have a bunch of numbers and letters. click
on each one of them and look in the right pane. look for anything that
mentions kazaa. delete that folder from the left pane (the whole folder).

3) http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/kazaabegone.zip
dl kazaa begone. run this and kazaa should be removed from your system. then
try running spybot to make sure all the spyware is gone."
