    HELP ME! I can't uninstall kazaa!

    The program i am running is Windows XP and i am on 600k cable with service provider NTL. While trying to delete Kazaa Desktop from my PC, i was unable to delete it using Add/Remove programs and a pop up told me that a Trojan Horse Virus by the name of Downloader Stubby A had been found. I then scanned it with my Anti Virus program which is AVG free edition package. When the virus scan was complete it told me that it had healed the infected file. I then tryed to remove Kazaa once again but Add/Remove could not remove Kazaa, and the icon had changed from the Kazaa Logo to a magnet!!!!
    Help Me. What is wrong?

    try rebooting into safe mode.. run the virus scanner again, or maybe try the online housecall - here... and then do add/remove....


    anyhow this should be in software, not distributed computing...

    again, this is the wrong forum.. have you tried booting into safemode, or holding shift while windows is loading to stop all stuff loading at the beginning... that might mean you can uninstall it or delete the c:\program files\kazaa folder...
