Uninstalling TBON that came with Kazaa

I have uninstalled kazaa, but I cannot uninstall this thing. When I try, it says that I have to uninstall kazaa first. I have done that, but this thing does not want to remove itself from my system. Anyone knows how to remove it?

I'm assuming this is some type of spyware? If so I'd use Ad-Aware.

You could get a third party software removal program. That might do the job.

Adware does not work. Tried it. It is there in the add/remove progs but will not remove itself

First try going into safe mode at start up and seeing if you can get it that way ( Tap and keep tapping F8. When you get there then try the uninstall/Adaware/spybot solution).
If not this program may do the job : http://www.snapfiles.com/get/moveonboot.html

If you still can't get it then this program may show you what's going on, telling you what it's using to avoid removal : http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/index.php
If you can stop/disable those then you can get it. Just remember that you'll have to re-enable them when you're done if they're necessary programs/processes
