Thanks for your question.  It appears that your frustration is not
uncommon.  It appears that DelFin is part of the spyware that came
with Kazaa v2.  Here are the steps to remove the DelFin Media Viewer:
"Getting rid of Delfin Media Viewer:
Go to the Control Panel, open the Add/Remove Software icon and
uninstall Delfin Media Viewer. Now reboot to finish the uninstall.
Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Delfin. Open Regedit and delete the
keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Delfin and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Delfin"

There are other items that installed with Kazaa that you may want to
remove as well.  If you visit
http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/5077/new/cleankazaa2.html
it has step by step instructions for cleaning up Kazaa

For more information about DelFin and other spyware applications, you
