Yes... :-(

How can I remove Ad-Aware completly? In Safe Mode it says that the Windows Installer is not running, so i can't uninstall it...

Thanks

Hi Brax,

You can try a system restore to the restore point created before the installation of Ad-Aware:
Start menu - All programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore

Did you get a warning that an antivirus program was installed when you installed Ad-Aware? If not, which antivirus program do you have?

No, I did not get a warning from Ad-Aware, the AV program is "Trend Micro Client-Server Security" Version 16.0.1341.

There is no system restore point on this Laptop :-(

thank you

I'm glad your problem is resolved and it was you that solved it and not we so thank you for informing us :)

I'll tell my contact person at Lavasoft that they have missed to check if Trend Micro is installed.

Lavasoft is already working on including a check of Trend Micro's programs.
