P2P un-installation procedures for Windows

Looking to configure your P2P programs, not uninstall them? Click here

The un-installation of peer-to-peer (a.k.a. p2p) applications generally fit into two main categories. The first are the ones that are easy to un-install. The second are the programs that install 3rd party spy programs. This guide contains information on how to uninstall both groups of programs step by step and while it contains many examples, it is by no means a complete list of ALL p2p applications. However, the principles here can be applied to almost all file-sharing software.
The titles we will be looking at in this guide are as follows:

Kazaa
morpheus
CuteMX
Imesh
Gnutella
Napigator
ToadNode
Blubster

As these programs continue to advance an increasing number are including spyware programs such as aureate and gator/Gain. Removing the p2p software doesn’t always remove the spyware that was installed along with it. To remove the spyware a separate removal program must be run after the p2p software has been removed.

Uninstall Procedure

To remove software, click "Start", then "Settings" then "Control Panels".

Double-click the add/remove programs icon
From this list highlight the program you wish to remove and click the Add/Remove button which will begin the un-installation process.
Every program has a different un-installation interface but mainly they will come in two categories:
- One will ask whether you wish to uninstall all components to which you will click yes and the un-installation will proceed.
- The other type will have automatic and custom buttons and a next button. Select automatic then click next for the un-installation to proceed (sometimes another screen will appear where you must press finish to begin)
  
  Repeat this process for all the p2p programs on the computer.
