did you check on add/remove programs? maybe that search bar has uninstall option if not try about buster http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html

All you have to do is open AdawareSE, click on the padlock icon and then right click on the archive file you want to delete and select delete from the menu.

i have Adaware 6.0 and theres no padlock button =\ and about buster didnt do the trick

[vikeor]

ive scanned using Ad-aware SE , about buster, looked in add/remove programs and nothing =\ time to format....

[GroundZero3]

install spybot and scan

[vikeor]

ill give that a shot...

Run Spy Sweeper. ("try it" links on the right)
It will find spyware that adaware/spybot miss.

Run a full system scan. After it finished you should be able to check all the spyware and click "next". It'll then remove everything...

BTW, do you have the latest version of AdAware?

And... if your computer is heavily infested, you might consider just formatting and reloading.
