Default Using Control panel doesn't remove Ad-Aware

"sly" wrote in message
...
I have been successful in removing other software using my Control
Panel, but
nothing happens when clicking on Remove button for Ad-Aware. There is
not any
version listed. Any recommendations on removal?


Are you comfortable working in the registry?

Many programs include uninstall programs, most register that with the
control panel application for add/remove, but some don't. Some have it
as a menu item (start menu). Still others won't give you any indication
at all. If you search the registry for "uninstallstring" without the
quotes, you can find information as to the path (and switches) to the
uninstaller for that item.

What you really should do, is ask their support people how to do it.
