did u try running spybot?

if not download it.

then also see if you have a virus. run virus scan. if you dont have one download avg (do a google search to find it)

also tell me everything running on your computer. you might have programs running in the backround that shouldnt be there.

What you are going to have to do is to manually delete the remaining ones. Many of these scumbag programs will automatically reinstall themselves unles you delete registry entries and the the .ddl files from your computer. Note that you may have to rename the files from .ddl to something like .txt to get rid of them. You will also need to un-hide the file extensions for this in the folder options.

Just write down the names of the ones ad aware cannot delete and then do a google search for the manual removal instructions. You will also have to go into the Windows Explorer and get rid of the file folders from all the spyware or it is possible that ad aware will keep seeing them.

I have tried Adware and seen the same results as you have.I changed over to Webroot's Spysweeper and I have had no problems at all since.They currently have over twenty thousand spyware definitions and the program will monitor cookies and reject all relating to spyware.It even detected two trojans trying to load into memory.I have been nothing but impressed with this product.
