How to remove Adaware Antivirus

I've tried every which way to get rid of Adaware Antivirus but they seem to have implanted a computer hijack feature into the program. Does anyone have a way to uninstall this malicious software?

AdAware removal HELP!!

Hi Larry -

You're right to uninstall AdAware which isn't recommended by any experts that I've seen anywhere. What works best for Windows is to use built-in Defender which should take over once you get AdAware uninstalled. If not you can turn it on in Settings>Update
and Security>Defender.

To uninstall AdAware first follow these steps to shut down Windows Installer so it won't error that another program is being uninstalled:

Right click task bar to open Task Manager. If necessary show More Details

On Details tab look for msiexec.exe, highlight to End Task.

Now try uninstall again.

If this doesn’t help you can try to Fix problems that block programs
from being installed or removed.

This can be symptomatic of corruption. I would go over the integrity of your install by working through the steps for
Windows 10 Performance and Install Integrity Checklist - Microsoft Community which
also has the best solutions for system protection and maintenance.

Feel free to ask back any questions, or report back results as you go.
