Hi kma
download and install WICU ( Windows Install Clean Up Utility/ Freeware by MS )
1. Locate your Ad-Aware SE folder
2. Run the file ' unregaaw.exe'
3. Delete the entire SE folder
4. Delete the SE link in your Start menue ( if present )
5. Delete the SE icon ( if present )
6. Navigate to Docs and settings/All users/Application Data/Lavasoft and delete the entire SE folder
7. Run WICU and delete all SE references
8. Start/Run > type ' cleanmgr' > enter > drive 'C' > ok > check temp.files/temp.internet files/recycle bin > run
9. Reboot
Run a windows search for SE traces and delete them manually (reboot if present ).
If you're still in trouble post back.
