You can use Kazaalite to use the kazaa network without the spyware.
Uninstall Kazaa and install kazaalite.

Then you can use Ad Aware to remove spyware from your PC.

Try using kazaa lite instead of the original Kazaa, it contains no spy-ware.
You can get it from www.k-lite.tk
Completely remove Kazaa first (and any associated spyware).
You can keep any partially downloaded files - no problem.
Ad-Aware from lavasoft is good for removing spyware already on your machine.
Hope that helped,

In addition to the already-mentioned AdAware, there are also a
couple of free programs that could be used *in addition*:

Spybot Search & Destroy
