Under CCleaner 2.18 Applications (Internet), I see "Kazaa (Search History)".
I don't recall installing Kazaa.
Under Tools, I don't see Kazaa listed (uninstall and startup).
How do I get rid of Kazaa from my PC?

Is it in the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs" list?
There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I have no RX Bar,InstaFinderK, Need2Find Bar, Peer Points Manager, P2P Networking, Kazaa 3.0, etc.
listed in my Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
But I do have the "kazaa" string appearing in various places in my registry.
Going to try http://www.merijn.nu...php#kazaabegone
Thanks to CCleaner for alerting me to traces of Kazaa on my PC.
I have used many antivirus/antispyware programs, and nothing had indicated traces of kazaa.

Have you tried SuperAntiSpyware?
I have a lifetime subscription to SuperAntiSpyware, and I have real-time protection enabled.
And I also use MalwareBytes AntiMalware.
Computer Associates AntiVirus.
And Kaspersky Free Scanner.
None of the above detected the traces of kazaa.
I wonder how kazaa got on my PC.
