I can't uninstall AdAware AE from Windows Vista Home Edition Service Pack 2!
Hi,
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo with Windows Vista Home Edition Service Pack 2.
My problem is I can't uninstall Ad-Aware AE from my computer, since my uninstall option in programs has vanished?!?
Why? I don't have a clue and I tried to activate the uninstall feature but I can't find my ways round in win vista anymore..
And Microsoft doesn't seem to have any answers either well I haven't posted there yet but I have looked around if anyone
else encountered the same or similar issue and nothing.
Please help me someone who knows urgently.
Most kindly
Ray

Hi Ray,
Is Ad-Aware AE still running in the computer?
Do you have the program folder of Ad-Aware and does it contain an uninstall program (or did you mean that with "in programs")?
Have you checked if Ad-Aware is listed in Control Panel - Programs and Features (or did you mean that with "in programs")?
You can try to uninstall Ad-Aware AE by using Revo Uninstaller as suggested in this post: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?/topic/23058-cannot-uninstall-free-ad-aware-2008/#entry94152
Make sure that you install the free version and untick all unnecessary stuff as toolbars during the installation.

Hi Lavasoft Moderator,
No it doesn't contain the uninstall program folder in the start menu > all programs. And Yes Ad-Aware AE is listed in Control Panel > Programs and Features,
but the uninstall option doesn't appear for this program though it does for the rest of the program in Control Panel > Programs and Features.
I have tried to uninstall Ad-Aware AE with Revo Uninstaller but I didn't untick all unnecessary stuff as toolbars during the installation, although I am pretty
sure I dont have any toolbars in IE other than the shortcut toolbar.

Hi Ray,
Let us see if and what in Ad-Aware that is still running.
Save DDS to your desktop: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr
Double-click on the DDS tool to run it.
When finished, DDS will open two (2) logs:
1. DDS.txt
2. Attach.txt
Save them to your desktop and paste the content of DDS.txt into your answer.0 -
What steps should I take to run the DDS tool and analyze the logs it generates to check for potential malware or security issues on my system?
