Yeah, unfortunately, I did just that: I got Ad-Aware to remove spyware, and guess
what! I get a message that says "Cannot open install.log" when I try to uninstall
ad-aware now.
At least we know ad-aware isn't malicious, but I don't want it anymore, and I can't
automatically uninstall it. Oh, well... a program called system mechanic will clear
the registry of outdated keys, and I've never had it screw my system up...ever.
