Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or the desktop & not directly on your hard drive). Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {4BCF322B-9621-4e90-9678-F1424EB7584E} - C:\WINDOWS\udpmod.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {B32B499B-11C1-9365-BB97-B728928E9F4F} - C:\PROGRA~1\BookSkip\WIN REF.dll

O3 - Toolbar: bikeliesthird - {0D8B55C2-C048-768D-FC1B-56CD216C62EC} - C:\PROGRA~1\BookSkip\WIN REF.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Flag Upload] C:\PROGRA~1\LICENSE FILE LONG\one okay.exe

Delete the following manually:

C:\PROGRA~1\BookSkip< folder
C:\PROGRA~1\LICENSE FILE LONG< folder

Reboot normally.

Launch Notepad, and copy/paste the bold below into a new text file. Save it as URLRepair.reg (Change the 'Save As Type' to 'All Files'). Save it in C:\

REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
"{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497}"=""

Locate it (in C:\) and double-click on it (launch it). You'll recieve a prompt similar to: "Do you wish to merge the information into the registry?". Answer yes and wait for a message to appear similar to "Merged Successfully".

If Kazaa is still on your comp, please uninstall it from add/remove programs as it will continue to create problems. Then run Kazaabegone from here. to clear out the remnants.

Thank you so much for your advice. After I remove kazaa is there a simular program I can use that you could recommond?

I am not sure of this sites policy regarding P2P programs so will wait to see what the Mod's have to say.
