p2p networking?

[carlito]

I kind of half-installed Kazaa (ended up not wanting it) and now everytime i start up the computer there is a process running called 'p2p networking'. So I terminate the program, fine, but I have to keep doing it everytime I use the computer. It's not malicious or anything, but Adaware (6) doesn't pick it up as spyware. What can I do to prevent 'p2p networking' ever running again?

Is it affecting the computer in Any way? If not, probably leave it if nothing is really happening, otherwise reply and tell us your OS (can make it easier for us).

If you feel it's related to Kazaa and are running Windows XP Pro, simply use the restore feature to restore your system back to the day before you install Kazaa.

Also, download a copy of Adware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and run it.

So I presume s/he already has.

Like Luke [Moonman] said, tell us your OS...that'll help

If you "half-installed" it, then do a full install of it and then restart your comp, then uninstall it and restart again. That should do it since you half-installed it (it probably didn't take everything back out when you hit the cancel button during the setup)

If not then go to START -> RUN -> type in "msconfig" and uncheck that process from the start up list or something...

Good luck

I don't believe uninstalling Kazaa uninstalls the spyware...

ah, well guys I use Win98 and there's no way I can re-format so I did what SF just suggested, I unticked it from the StartUp list. Thank you so much for your help !!!
