hidden files (mainly kazaa)

hey everyone, its tim1477.

i recently deleted the evil program Kazaa (we've all heard of it) because i heard of many viruses and such. however, i seem to have no gotten all the files.

one of the files is p2p networking which is assosiated with kazaa, but i can't find it. i know its in C:Windows\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe however, when i go into System32, the folder is not there.

obviously it was hidden... there are probably numeruous other files like this on my computer and i want to rid this evil out of my system!

all help me!

What OS are you using? In Windows XP, you can view hidden files by going to the Tools menu when browsing a folder (any, it doesn't matter) and clicking on Folder Options. Under the View tab, select Show Hidden Files and Folders. Now you should be able to see all the hidden files on your system. Just make sure not to delete any system critical files and be sure that what you are deleting won't affect your system. I would also run Spybot and Ad-Aware to make sure you've gotten rid of all traces of the program.
