Lavasoft AdAware

[Jim90069 0]

I can't figure out why Lavasoft AdAware is continuing to try to resinstall, after I got rid of the program. Now it's telling me, on a daily basis that there is a "critical update" necessary.......I don't want to update it, I want to get rid of it, permanentaly!

Hello,

The best thing to do here would be to contact Lavasoft support to get help with this problem. Lavasoft's FAQ has the following information.

Sorry for my English I'm Persian if you already uninstalled antivirus how it ask you to do that? I mean there is a icon or what?

1) reinstall lavasoft again

2) uninstall it through program/feature 

3) If it ask for reboot, please allow it to do so

4) go to this ESET link http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN146&locale=en_US

5) Scroll all the way to L alphabet and click lavasoft link

6) follow the instruction

7) I will post the instruction here in case if you need it

 

Lavasoft instruction

1. Click "uninstall Ad-Aware" in the lavasoft folder of your start menu

2. If it does not work, open your control panel, click add/remove programs and locate Ad-Aware SE

3. If it still does not work, locate and run (double-click) the file "unwise.exe" (the .exe might not be shown). It should be found in C:\program files\lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE [Personal/Plus/Professional]\



If that does not work, or if you get a message saying something like "Can't find Install.log," perform a manual uninstall, which is not a very difficult procedure. Do the following:

1. Click on "my computer" and navigate to your Lavasoft Ad-Aware folder (C:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware \

2. Run the file unregaaw.exe

3. Delete the entire ad-aware folder

4. Delete your Lavasoft Ad-Aware link in your start menu (if present)

5. Delete the Ad-Aware icon(s) from your desktop(if present)

6. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Application Data\Lavasoft and delete the entire Lavasoft folder.

7. Empty your trash bin

8. Reboot.
