Tim if you or anyone uses Kazaa, you also need to remove the SPYWARE ,ADWARE from 
the sytem this will creat Many many problems.
lavasoft.com has a free version of AD-AWARE to download .

Let it clean out everything it finds.
This will also disable kazaa since it has spyware made in it.

If you insist on running kazaa just reinstall it after ad-aware has finished.
