Firstly, do not install Noadware. It's a fake, and you can verify that by looking
through this list:

Follow these instructions on running a full system scan with AW. It will take awhile
to run the scan, but it's very important to set it up correctly. This is a pinned
topic on SpywareInfo forums:
Reconfigure Ad-Aware for Full Scan
Clear out all your temp folders. Note: Some temp files may currently be in use, until
the next reboot: Internet Options - General tab. Delete temporary internet files
- choose 'delete all Offline content'. Settings - set the size of your TIF folder
between 5 - 10 MB. Clear out them out frequently. Find - Files or folders - in the
named box, type: *.tmp Select all - delete. Empty C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp
folder, if you have one. Empty Recycle bin.
Next, run HJT and post a log here. Be sure to choose the posting option below, so
the message will be properly formatted, not a long running sentence:
Download 'Hijack This' Unzip 'HJT' into a folder other than a temp
folder. It creates backups. Close all browser windows. Run the Scan. Most of the
entries listed are necessary or required entries. Don't fix anything, until you know
which entries to fix.
After the scan is finished, the Scan button will turn into Save Log. Press that and
paste the contents here. Before posting your message, choose this Option: Check
this box to preserve your spacing, etc....
