Hello ubdrm,
Go to the Start button, in the Start Search box, type in Services. It should be listed at the top of the left pane.
Next, scroll thru the list of services and find one for Ad-Aware or a similiar name.
Right click on the Service and select Properties.
Go to the Startup Status and select "Disable" Do not choose manual or automatic.
Next, reboot your computer.
You should now be able to remove the Ad-Aware program thru Control Panel or you can try the Revo uninstaller again.
Please reply back with an update and let us know your status.
Sincerely,
Marilyn
