Roberta;
Kazaa is full of spyware.
If you used a spyware removal tool, it is likely a part of Kazaa was
removed.
Check with their website or better yet search Google possibly "kazaa
removal" will locate what you need.

Hi Roberta
Kazaa Media Desktop comes packaged with spy/adware thats used to make
banners appear within the program called Cydoor. By running an application
such as adware to remove this, you remove a part of the application which
the makers have intentionally placed a dependancy on (in order to generate
revenue through targeted advertising based on your net usage). As the
message says reinstalling Kazaa would get rid of the error, but thats
probably a bad idea as you would reinstall spyware on your system.

Can you not just uninstall Kazaa?
