Default Using Control panel doesn't remove Ad-Aware

Whatever the name of the icon is, search for that name using
the registry editor.

You will find multiple keys that need to get deleted. Please
be careful using the registry editor as you do not want to
delete the whole key, but to speed up the search, search the
starting from the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\

You will find the name multiple times and you may need to
delete it multiple times as the registry backs up it's own
registry entries. If you have any questions feel free to ask
before you delete, or make a backup yourself before you do
the deletion.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root

You will find back ups of that key in the key with the
ControlSet002 name as well as the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\

If you use multiple users, it's possible that it was installed
multiple times for each user.

Have fun!!!
Happy Sabbath!!!
