There are multiple steps, to find them out, search most Virii Definition site's for removal instructions and information on it. Like I said, there are quite a few things you need to do to make sure it is COMPLETLY off your system.
the only keys the virus creates is one in startup and it edits the kazaa settings, once the virus isnt running u can change your settings back to normal in kazaa. Also it doesnt always go under the name cheese-burger.exe.
but like he said might be best off going to an anti virus site and doing it that way i might have forgot some bits (:

From my experience with p2p programmes like kazza, I avoid the words "full installer", "full game" and generally anything that has to do with full.
They are the best files that can contain viruses.

LOL@mr.leachy
You're right about that.Although I do enjoy the free coasters they send in the mail all the time.The bottom line with Kazaa is if you download something,scan the hell out of it,after installing something,go through and scan all of the files that were installed.Then run a full scan on your computer afterwards.It can be a time consuming process,but that's the price you pay.Just for future reference,there's a lot more security risks than bugs that come along with Kazaa.
Hmmm.that's pretty cool.I just unintentionally created a link to laugh at mr. leachy.My apologys to anyone who gets a bunch of strange Emails.

Just run an up to date antivirus on software before you open it. Kazaa is growing with trojans and viruses.I downloaded a few myself before I got my antivirus.That is no reason to stop using kazaa if you just stay away from software.Cracks are alot of times trojans or viruses so try to stay away from those.I see you have alot of cracks on your computer.

Yea , Spyder is definetely right because there are definetely thousands and thousands of virii running through the p2p network.So , there is definetely not just one "Kazaa" virus.
