if you install it, then when it starts, it runs. I think the port is 1249 (or 1429...?), not sure. ZA will block scans when you arent running, but I *think* even if you uninstall Kazaa (morpheus, etc) it leaves registry settings allowing your port to be connected to, but I am not sure- haven't looked at that.
