During the tryout of different AV products I am being notified that
there are remnants of LavaSoft AdAware on my computer. Is anyone
aware of a special removal process or program to remove LavaSoft
AdAware products completely? They do have such for Norton or McAfee
products.

Have you seen this page?:

Hi, thanks for the offer of help.

I followed your link - Item 1 and 2, I did when initially
uninstalling the Lavasoft program.

Item 3 I just performed and all the "unwise.exe" entries were
associated with other programs which are used by my computer. There
were 3 - individually associated with Camtasia Studio 3, TekLink and
Logitech. They are all valid programs I use.

In My Computer I had previously deleted everything associated with
AdAware/LavaSoft.

A search for "unregaaw.exe was negative

There was no link to LavaSoft or AdAware in Start menu.

Unable to find evidence of LavaSoft or AdAware folder on Computer

The reference to "LavaSoft AdAware" only shows up during an install of
Spybot S & D, AVG and when installing Windows Live One Care.
Unfortunately, no path or Reg Key is referenced. It just warns me
that the install/re-install of the new program may be effected.

I am almost tempted to re-install the program to un-install it.

That is actually a very good idea. Please let us know if you are
scuccessful.

Gotten from a google of "unregaaw.exe". Again thanks for helping

YW.
