ClickTheButton:

This parasite will be installed along with Kazaa without them telling you about it. It is also bundled along with the FavoriteMan parasite. It will download advertising when you visit a new website. It then displays the advertising as a pop-up or pop-under window. It monitors you while you surf to report information about you pertaining to certain shopping related websites.

Solution:
Ad/Remove Programs - This will leave your registry with extra information in it that wasn't there before the parasite was installed.

Regedit - Find

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run.
delete key called ClickThisButton

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CTB_BrandedClient
delete all keys that begin with "'CtbClient', 'CtbSession', 'CtbShopper' or 'CtbXML'"

Delete CTB3_Shared from the Windows folder

Delete CTBHooks.dll from the system or system32 folder

I heard even Kazaa Lite can have spyware in it sometimes depending on the package you download.
