My solution was to format the MS Windows PC and reinstall. You can read
my experience here.

Look at the darnit link, which takes awhile to load.

I realize that this does not answer anything about the how to band
width throttle, or blocking the ports Kazaa uses, but it will solve all
of your problems. Those are the least of your worries after you
understand all the spyware that it installs on your MS Windows PC.
I have since found out that they also uses your PC for distributed
processing without your known consent. The symtom was you would type in
another web URL or other information in a text field. After a bit you'd
finally see what you typed. Their software finally woke up and said,
"oh let me give you back your processor for just a bit." Perhaps this
has some connection to the ICMP messages.
Some time later I had a friend's son call me. The boy couldn't use IE
for a game. Morpheus had so screwed up the machine that when I went to
the control panel to perform the add/remove software function, the
control panel applet gpfed. I was trying to follow the instructions here.

The pc even gpfed when I brought up file explorer. They are looking for
their Compaq recover CD now. His sister sheepishly grinned, when I
explained the problem. Hey but, "This software Rocks!"
Good Luck!
