Kazaa installs Cydoor spyware, and if you nuke it, as I have in the past with Ad-aware, Kazaa no longer runs. If I install this, will it nuke my Kazaa? Wouldn't be worth it if it does... ???

No - SpywareBlaster will not prevent KaZaA from working. They can run on the same machine without any problems. :)

I had a hard time with Kazaa-after taking out some spyware, Kazaa ran okay until I tried to uninstall. I found that I was unable to uninstall due to a missing .dll file. Eventually I had to download Kazaa again over top of the existing one to replace the file, which then allowed me to uninstall. I also had to use search>files and folders to remove all remnants of Kazaa. I now use Kazaa Lite- no spyware (or so it claims) and just as good results!

I'll never understand why people will still support a program with known spyware. By using Kazaa Lite your showing that you'll still support the makers of Kazaa & will do anything to use their software.
