Remove both programs through Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. Then go to Windows
Explorer and remove the program folders if they still exist. Then run a Registry
Cleaner such as Winner Tweak Registry Cleaner. Then reinstall AdAware and see
if a boot works without your current problem. Then install the other program (which
I think is the problem as AdAware is pretty benign) and see how it goes. Work from
there.
