I have done just that over the past 30 minutes. I seem to have found a problem, though, in doing just that. I have been using Lavasoft's Adware and Adwatch for many, many, years, and in attempting to remove that program, found it to be nearly impossible to remove. After using the standard UNINSTALL package within Adaware, which failed to uninstall, I then went directly to XP's ADD/REMOVE, which again refused to uninstall or delete the program. It seems to want some form of program to help in the deletion of itself
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Wise Installation Wizard\
I then to manually remove each component of the Adaware program from within folder inside "Programs" and even had to disable read only on these files. The disabling of the program had no effect, again.
How can I remove the entire program and all its effects, other than the means I have thus far used?
I am unable to uninstall this program, which could be the actual cause of the problem.
