PLEASE READ THIS: you will need to repeat all or part of these instructions for ANY P2P application you might have on your computer. There are MANY such applications and more appear every day. Part I of the KaZaA removal instructions(the Add/Remove Control panel) can be applied to any other applications- but, parts II and III (manual file and Registry key deletion) will differ. You will need to do your own Web search for each application to find out these details.

Some vendors provide uninstall instructions on their Web sites- BUT, be careful! If you go to these sites, many will automatically install MORE software onto your computer!!!

Disclaimer(again): unless you are a very experienced and extremely advanced Windows user, it is unlikely you will be able to successfully remove all traces of all P2P applications yourself. ITS recommends you have a professional do it.

Instructions:

Part I: the Add/Remove Control Panel

1.If Kazaa is running( which it probably is) you have to QUIT out of it before you can uninstall it. Since it's not a regular application but rather a background process, you have to go to the Task Manager to force it to quit:
•press Control-ALT-delete to go to the task Manager
•find Kazaa in the list, click on it to highlight it, click END PROCESS
2. Start | Settings | Control Panel
3. double-click Add/Remove Programs
4. Find KaZaa in the list, click on it to highlight it, click Remove.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 with "b3d Projector",
"Medialoads" and "New.Net" (all software installed by Kazaa that has to be removed separately)

Removing Kazaa Part II: manually delete files/folders

Make sure all the following have been deleted- if they haven't, delete them!
C:\Program Files\Kazaa\
* C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\KaZaA\
* C:\Windows\Desktop\Kazaa Media Desktop.lnk
* C:\Windows\Desktop\My Shared Folder.lnk
* C:\Windows\Desktop\Kazaa Promotions.lnk
*C:\\Windows/System 32\cd_clint.dll

Removing Kazaa Part III: edit the Registry(FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY)

delete the following:
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kazaa
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Kazaa
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\KaZaA Media Desktop_is1

(Brilliant) B3D projector Removal(THIS SOFTWARE GOES WITH KAZAA BUT MUST BE UNINSTALLED SEPARATELY)

1. Go to Start | Settings | Control Panels , double click on "Add/Remove Programs".
2. Select "b3D Projector" and click on the button "Change/Remove".
3. Next find the folder labeled "BDE". It will probably be in the "Windows" or "Winnt" folder. You can use the "Find" utility to search for this folder.
4. Inside the "BDE" folder is a program called "bdeclean.exe". Double click on this file to run it.
5. Use the "Find" utility to search for a folder called "Brilliant". If it is found, delete this folder.
6. The final step is also the most time consuming. There are nine more files that you will have to find and delete. They are:
bdedownloader.dll
bdedata2.dll
bdefdi.dll
bdeinsta2.dll
bdeinstall.exe
bdesecureinstall.cab
bdesecureinstall.exe
bdeverify.exe
bdeverify.dll
