I have erased two toolbars causing problems from my registry.  Like an idiot I downloaded Kazaa.  I hope it is all gone.  How to I catch everything?

Mandy Boyd......Oh,oh ......when you run the scans as suggested by Fed ..........be sure to do that in safe mode to get the best results.
You may even wish to do a manual edit of the registry to be sure that Kazaa is completely removed.
