Ok. I ran the scan again and it came back with 61 problems. It fixed all of them. When it was scanning things, I was reading what it was scanning and it came up with all kinds of "XXXTeen" and "XXXDialer" and "XXXSEX" files. I tried to search for them, but couldn't find them to delete them. I'm about 30 seconds away from deleting Kazaa completely. If it's going to cause me these problems I don't want it.

I'll let you guys know if it is fixed. Thanks for all your help. You guys are great.

HAHA...I had over 250 problems.

The reason why you could not find it when you did a search is because they are located in your registry. YOu can access the registry from the command prompt: 'regedit'. Spybot cleans the spyware out of there. The registry is the heart of your computer so you don't want to go in there deleting ---- that you don't know what it does then you may run into serious problems.
You are getting majority of this ---- from downloading the ****. Just run spybot every once in a while and that should clean it out.

A lot of those problems with "viruses" and weird files on your computer come from spyware that is placed on your computer when you search the web. Spyware are small progs that run on your computer and send back info to the company that gave it to you. Some of these programs are Bonzai Buddy, Gator, etc. They are bullshit and really **** a tech guy like me off. You should go online (download.com) and get Ad-Aware 6 and also Spybotearch adn Destroy. They are free and everyone should have them. Run them before you decide to reformat your comp. Because that is a extreme way to fix your comp. Run these programs once a month or so after. All the progs that come up in ad-aware can be deleted. Hope this helps.

I downloaded that and used it. It came up with 141 problems. Now it comes back with none.

I was looking at the files it was searching and it came back with a bunch of gator files and Bonzi buddy along with a bunch of others that I'm sure are causing problems. It also came up with a bunch of files called "back Lite" or something like that. I think Kazaa is going to be deleted from my computer very soon. I'm still contemplating. It's like giving up a child......wait a minute, I don't want kids.

Just download Kazaa Lite. Many dont know about it but if you get Lite you will not get the spyware and ---- that reg Kazaa gives you. You KNOW you cant get rid of Kazaa, its a part of all of us......and our **** collections.

Well, I have Kazaa lite. I just tried to delete it and guess what. I can't. The ---- is attached to me more than I thought. I don't know why I can't delete it. It doesn't even give me a legible reason for not being able to delete it though. I even went into safe mode and it said the same thing.
