Hello,

I've got some spyware/adware on my computer that I can detect, but I can't figure out how to remove them.

They are: adwar.Cydoor, adware.Ncase, adware.Ezula, and adware.NDotNet

I have Kazaa on my computer but I never use it. I'm going to uninstall it now. I know that one or more of these were probably downloaded with Kazaa.

ANy advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle

Have you used Lavasoft's Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy?
You can download both for free at www.download.com

Here are the direct links.

Yes, I've used spybot. It's supposed to be the most comprehensive spyware detection and removal system but it fails to remove the one's I've listed.

Give Ad-Aware a shot. I had cydoor one time and it cleaned it up. Maybe it will do the trick.
Otherwise, you could try deleting their respective folders under c:\program files (if they exist).
Then maybe download a utility like Ace Utilities and use its registry cleaner function. You can find it here for a free 30-day trial at www.acelogix.com I have found it really useful for cleaning out the trash in my registry and hard drive.
Good luck.
