JaneS 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 If you're using Vista Ad-aware2007 does not show in the processes listed in the task manager, so it cannot be stopped and the error message keeps appearing. Ad-aware cannot be stopped, attempting to remove it by using Vista's Uninstall doesn't work either. I eventually tried MikeB's method of removing it, having been sceptical, and it works. I wish I'd tried it sooner. It's here http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=22485 Type msconfig into the start box, go to start up and unclick Adaware. Restart the computer then go to Control Panel > Programmes > AdAware > Remove A warning message appears, you need to allow Lavasoft access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been trying to stop the crash notices I've been getting every 30 seconds for days! Even my company's tekkies couldn't figure out how to remove it! I tried, and it started to delete..and froze at 45% and stayed there for-ev-er! Will try your fix and see if that helps! Happy New Year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
