Hi Nailzuk,

You were most likely fooled onto getting spyware rather
than Ad-aware. Here's the correct link.

Make sure to run the update feature before scanning.
Large amounts of installed spyware and such, it may be necessary
to run Ad-Aware several times to clear them all.

Here are some additional removal tools.
CWShredder:

Download Link:

Spybot:

SpywareBlaster:
http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware – it
prevents it from ever being installed. SpywareBlaster is
a non memory resident utility. It works by setting a "kill bit"
for the CLSIDs of spyware ActiveX controls, it prevents the
installation of any of them from a webpage.
