    I cannot install Ad-aware 2007, when I try I get an error message that says it cannot uninstall my prior Ad-aware version. The reason is a script error.

    So I have tried to uninstall the prior version myself with no avail. I even went directly into programs and deleted everything there, then I ran a search and deleted everything that showed up there as Lavasoft or Ad-aware still to no avail when I tried to install the latest version.

    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Actually I personally don't recommend using Ad-Aware 2007 especially if it is the free version. It is a resource hog and the application is just not that helpful compared to other tools. At anyrate you could try doing the following:
    • Reinstall the old version again! Yes that is correct reinstall it.
    • Then reboot
    • After reboot, see if you can uninstall the old version. If not, give us the exact word for word error message you receive.
