Definitely remove the real Kazaa, and though the version I linked says you can install it over prior KL versions, I would remove your older one also. Another smart thing to do would be to download AdAware and run it AFTER you remove both versions of Kazaa & KL that you have. I think the older version of Kazaa left the Cydoor spyware file in your registry even if you removed Kazaa - anyway, if it's there AdAware will pick it up - have it remove this. Then install the new KL, make sure it runs, shut it down and rerun AdAware - it should pick up the Cydoor client again, but this is the dummy spyware file - just add it and any reference of it to AdAwares ignore list. If you ever remove this file, KL will not work anymore.
As for losing your downloaded files, when you remove the apps the files should remain - but to be safe, copy the files to another folder, like on your desktop and remove the apps - if for whatever reason they disappear, you've made backups to just replace them in your Shared folder or whatever folder you use.
