AdAware has broken my faith in them. :( They were awesome up until one of their last upgrades, after which it became thoroughly stupid. :S It got to where it wouldn't run a scan (and this is on all of the computers, not just one) because "the scanner was already in use." :S Then finally it just refuses to open at all. *sigh* So I'd think it's probably something goofy with it.

Unfortunately, the only real way you'll know is to see if you get that message again now that you've uninstalled AdAware. *keeps fingers crossed that you won't* Hopefully it was just the last gasp of whatever was wrong in AdAware sending out that message as it uninstalled.

How do you like Malwarebytes? I've seen it mentioned a bunch of times now and so have been considering taking it to replace AdAware. ;)

Good luck, hon! Hopefully it was just a one-last-gasp sort of message and it won't come around again! *hugs* ♥!
