Be fore warned that removing the spyware from Kazaa may render the software unusable. I would suggest that you search for and download Kazaa Lite or other P2P software that does not contain spyware or adware.
It will make your P2P experience much more enjoyable.

Re:adware programs- Buy AdAwarePro and SpyBot

You need both. The free version of AdAware will remove the spyware. The Pro version will keep it out. Spybot is free, but give them a donation. They should be charging for it, it's that good. The only problem with it is, like the the free Ad Aware it is only a remover. I scan with both daily. There is more spyware than what comes with the music dowloading programs.

spybot does actualy immunise against all that it finds if you wish it too.Also spyware blaster is a nice peice of software that comes with spybot it will show you where to download it.Spysweeper is also good and when i used it after i had run the aforementioned it came up with a whole host of new stuff it says it found,this is not free but it comes with a trial period .
