LavaSoft AdAware

[WMB]

Windows XP(Home) SP3; IE-8; OE-6

During the tryout of different AV products I am being notified that there
are remnants of LavaSoft AdAware on my computer. Is anyone aware of a
special removal process or program to remove LavaSoft AdAware products
completely? They do have such for Norton or McAfee products.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the offer of help.

I followed your link - Item 1 and 2, I did when initially uninstalling the
Lavasoft program.

Item 3 I just performed and all the "unwise.exe" entries were associated
with other programs which are used by my computer. There were 3 -
individually associated with Camtasia Studio 3, TekLink and Logitech. They
are all valid programs I use.

In My Computer I had previously deleted everything associated with
AdAware/LavaSoft.

A search for "unregaaw.exe was negative

There was no link to LavaSoft or AdAware in Start menu.

Unable to find evidence of LavaSoft or AdAware folder on Computer

The reference to "LavaSoft AdAware" only shows up during an install of
Spybot S & D, AVG and when installing Windows Live One Care. Unfortunately,
no path or Reg Key is referenced. It just warns me that the
install/re-install of the new program may be effected.

I am almost tempted to re-install the program to un-install it. Gotten from
a google of "unregaaw.exe". Again thanks for helping

That is actually a very good idea. Please let us know if you are
scuccessful.

The programs you are installing maybe picking up entries in the registry,
which are not neccessarily removed by the uninstall process
I have had SpyBot, Adaware and AVG running on the same PC without problems,
though the first two were only run when specifically started
PS Dont confuse malaware apps with AV apps, the two are entirely different
and serve different purposes, AVG is the only AV app you mention. Its often
neccessary to use two or more mallaware apps, depending on your net usage,
but only a single AV app should be installed
