Manual removal
Please follow the instructions below if you would like to remove PerfectNav manually. Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully and delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail if one single item is not deleted. If PerfectNav remains on your system after stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by stepping through them again.
1 Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
2 Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {A045DC85-FC44-45be-8A50-E4F9C62C9A84}', if it exists.

PerfectNav usually installs itself when you install Kazaa along w/ Gator

[sykikchimp]

When a file says "Access Denied" when you try to delete it, it's typically b/c the file is in use b/c a program is running that uses it.

You have to figure out which "Process" is running that is using it, and stop the process. If you can't, boot into "Safe Mode" and delete away..

[SilviaDriver]

yea i know bout the Access denied part..juss couldnt figure out wat program was using PerfectNav

sykikchimp: if u run safe mode..u can delete watever w/o having the access denied thing pop up? becuz i have another search thing i wanna get rid of..but says the same shit has PerfectNav

got rid of PerfectNav =D

I just dled AATools the other day, its really good, registry cleaner, as well has shows what boots up and thier target file area etc.

Geez I think its time to reformat for me anyways.. after alot of tweaking and stuff to your computer (plus overclocking) stuff becomes sorta buggy after time. I hate it since i have 56k and usually have to dl everything over again.

Create a "Downloads" folder on your hard drive, and make sure you always "Save As" when you down load, and save the installs to that folder. That way when you need to reformat, you just re-install from your hard drive again.

SilviaDriver - Safe mode disables all non essential process, so you "should" be able to delete any of that stuff.
