the service window does not give me an option to stop adaware when I click on it, Tell me exactly what you are saying , Do i just click on adaware and highlight it and then go to control panel and try to uninstall? because there's no "stop" option in service. I donot want to install more lavasoft software unless it helps me rid of this software which is currently unremovable . I think Lavasoft should not have software available thats so difficult to remove
