I'm running WinXP on a 3Ghz Dell 8300, and I have the same trouble with PerfectNav. I found removal instructions at http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/li brary/perfectnav/index.phtml
but I couldn't find the registry entries listed.. Also, I tried to get KazaaCleaner off of Cnet, but it's stopping me from downloading things also. On the "beginning download" screen, a window pops up over 3/4 of the page with a list of topic links on it and doesn't download.
Is there another site to get removal software from? I plan on trying to find Adaware and Spybot next... I hope it doesn't stop me from getting them too.
