i tried to reinstall ad aware, did so, partially, as it only allowed me to
do so much. so i went to explorer & deleted everything i could find re: ad
aware & lavasoft, but in add/remove, its still there, so no problem as i'll
simply remove it. only i can't; when i click on it, there is no "remove" for
me to click on - any ideas ?

many, many thanks

Yes, do a reinstall and see if it can be removed from add remove then.
You probably deleted (assuming it was created) the files it needed for
an uninstall.
I've had good luck with things like that using addremovePro, a
freebie. Search for it; easy to find.

HTH,

Install the MS software 'Installer Cleanup Utility' and then remove the
remnants:

To remove items in Add/Remove after program has been deleted or removed:
Start--Run--Regedit--OK
HKEY_LOCAL-MACH_Software\Microsoft\Windows\currentversion\uninstall
highlite and delete.
 
thanks to you all for your help & I did get it completely removed &
reinstalled the latest & all seems fine, but & that is, i should be able to
use ad-watch live for processes on the free version. so i read & it says to
turn on by clicking on the icon - well, for me, it doesn't turn on - anyone
know how ? oh & i tried to email in the past, & never got a responses.

thanks again
 
duh me! i ran the scan & that seemed to have activated the ad watch live
function, so all's good

thanks in advance
 
sory as i am still on the meds & anyway, the ad watch live is not on & i
dont know how to start it

thanks
 
still cant get adawares ad watch live to turn on . it says in help that w/
the free version the processes will activate, but not the registry &
network. but thats where i am stuck
 
go it, finally - i saw the advanced at the bottom - no cheaters on - & via
that mode, i was able to finally start it
