suppressing kazaa

I have a NAT in a Win2k Server. My problem is the network traffic caused by several of my internet users using kazaa. I have closed all ports except 80 and 1080 and implemented local IP security policy (Secure Server) but kazaa still congest the network traffic. Is there a way to suppress or block this kazaa communication so that my users will be disappointed to use it anymore?

You may find the problems are not with the Kazaa program it's self, but the spyware that comes bundled with it. You may have to run a spyware finding program on each hard drive to see what's lurking there.

Might be a silly question from an old DOS dude, but could you simply create a bat file that, on startup, looks for and deletes the Kazaa exe file or directory? Sure, they could reinstall the program, but the next startup would remove it again. Maybe they'd get tired of reinstalling all the time.
