On my bro's machine trying to clean it up for him a bit... checked msconfig and saw a P2PNetworking that is found in \Windows\System32\P2PNetworking\... etc.

What is this entry ? I unchecked it, ran Adaware, rebooted, and it made itself another instance and is rechecked again.

I also see GAIN (spyware) on this machine. I ran adaware and all it really does is delete "tracking cookies" which it has done before.. wont' GAIN just do its thing again ?

Yes, he uses Kazaa apparently. What should I do at this point ?

EDIT>> P2PNetworking.exe is from http://www.joltid.com/ apparently.. don't know why it's on here (and he's not here to ask).
