Ad-Aware 7-8 prevents me from executing KAV 2010

Hi,

Last week, I renewed my KAV purchase. For downloading, no problem - but, when I want execute it, KAV asks me to remove a "Ad-Aware 7-8" (that I thought having deleted with Lavasoft). When I go in Panel of Config. (Add/Delete Programs), it's impossible (in addition, I have no more the Modify/Delete possibility), and if I let KAV do it itself, it asks me to reboot, and all that stuff begins again...
As you asked, I join the files you required.

Thanks for your help and regards

I did what you said. I join the quarantine zip here, because I didn't understand exactly whay you meant by "the top of this page".

Anyway, thanks and regards

We need 3 new logs AS IN THE FIRST MESSAGE.

OK. There !

Any problem more?

Sorry, but, despite your help (thanks), I have exactly the same problem I described in my 1st message : Ad-Aware is yet somewhere in my PC.
I join an attachment (hope you can see the image) of a screenshot of what I see in "Add/delete programs" when I try to delete it manually. As I told already, if I let KAV do it itself, it reboots the computer and begins to reexecute until that moment when that damned "Ad-Aware 7-8" appears again...

Regards

[QUOTE=JF52;641392]Ad-Aware is yet somewhere in my PC.[/QUOTE]It's only registry set, download [URL="http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner"]CCleaner[/URL], install and start a program, press the button [I]Outils[/I] (in the left panel), choose Ad-Aware in the list, press the button [I]Dйsinstaller[/I](in the right panel). If the program exists, it will be removed, if not - you'll become a correspondent message. Then press the button[I] Effacer l'entrйe[/I] and press OK. Then press the button [I]Registree[/I] (in the left panel) and clean the registry.

Really, it becomes hard...
I tried your 2 solutions (I did it already before I send my first message). They didn't work.

Screenshots of your 2 solutions (I had to minimize their size).

Sorry if I didn't understand all what you explain... ;)

Sorry, the picture with request of installer is too small. What path is reqiured?
Did you try to run Registry clean-program of CCleaner?

Sure, I tried, but did I do the right things ? I'm not sure now (because I'm not busy with just that stuff).
I join larger screen shots (reason for which I deleted the precedent ones) : on the left, when I tried with "Delete entry", on right with "Run uninstaller".

Must I analyze and "run cleaner" the windows Regedit ? It's done.
Really, I don't know exactly what to do, and I'm afraid to delete some important element.

Download this tool: [url]http://www.getsysteminfo.com/download/GetSystemInfo.exe[/url], start it, accept the conditions, let all 3 checkboxes marked, after scanning and uploading of your log safe the link and post it here.

I don't see any traces of Ad-Aware. Is your problem solved?
If not:
Pls. start AVZ, Service/Registry Search and search for "Ad-Aware". Save log.
Than search for "Lavasoft" and save the log under any other name/in another place. Upload both logs in one ZIP-Archiv.

No, problem not solved.
If no mistake, there the zip containing "ad-aware" and "lavasoft".

After reboot run the key search once more an remove all found Lavasoft/Ad-Aware-Keys

As always, I did what you said. I thought all was ok when I saw that "Ad-aware" had disappeared from the "Add/Delete Programs" panel (screen capture joined).
I deleted too the KAV 2010 I had installed in "My Documents", booted an rebooted 3 or 4 times. Therefore, after re-re-downloading that damned kav in their site, when it's "executing", always same message in the window : "Ad-Aware 7-8", and etc. etc. And now I'm sure I have NO ad-aware or lavasoft in my register keys (I deleted all of them).

All that takes too much of my time : I think I'll ask Kaspersky to pay back my purchase...

Maybe yet, a last solution : do you think it will work if I download the free ad-aware lavasoft and next delete it ? (Or must I delete all the cleaners programs : CCleaner, avz, hijackthis, malwarebytes and Regcleaner ? I have all that...)

Anyway, thanks for your help, Rene-gad, and regards.

Make GSI-Log , post a link here.
[QUOTE]I think I'll ask Kaspersky to pay back my purchase...[/QUOTE]
You could try to do it :) But I would ask you: why did you purchase anything without testing? KL gives 30 days trial periode to test it's software.
You can contact tecnichal support: [url]http://www.kaspersky.com/fr/support[/url]
[QUOTE]must I delete all the cleaners programs : CCleaner, avz, hijackthis, malwarebytes and Regcleaner [/QUOTE]CCleaner is IMHO very usefull for many cases, the rest you cen remove - if you don't need it.
