    For some unknown reason my adaware 2007 will not allow me to uninstall it.
    I get a message that says:
    Need to locate installation package
    WISDED53B0BB67C4244AE6AD6FD3C28D1EF_7_0_2_5.MSI
    in a folder so that I can install adaware 2007.
    If it is already installed on my system why do I have to follow these instructions to uninstall it? I have no clue as to how to do this.
    Please help an old man that is just so so computer literate.

    I am unable to uninstall my Ad-Aware SE. I receive a message saying, "Can’t find Install.log."

    There are several alternatives you can use to uninstall Ad-Aware SE:

    * Click "Uninstall Ad-Aware" in the Lavasoft folder of your Start menu.
    * If you are unable to do that, open your control panel, click "Add/remove programs," and locate Ad-Aware SE.
    * Another method to uninstall is to locate and double-click the file "unwise.exe" (the .exe may not be shown). You should be able to find this file in C:\program files\lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE [Personal/Plus/Professional]\.

    If the above alternatives do not work, or you get a message saying, "Can’t find Install.log," you will need to manually uninstall the software. To do this:

    * Click on "My Computer" and locate your Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE folder (C:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware).
    * Run the file "unregaaw.exe".
    * Delete the entire Ad-Aware SE folder.
    * Delete your Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE link in your Start menu (if present).
    * Delete the Ad-Aware SE icon (s) from your desktop (if present).
    * Navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name] \Application Data\Lavasoft" and delete the entire Lavasoft folder.
    * Empty your trash bin.
    * Reboot your computer.
