Reboot your computer and start hitting F8 like mad. If you catch it in time, instead of showing the Windows startup screen, you'll get a menu where you can choose to boot in safe mode.

AdAware doesn't remove everything, though. Make sure that you have the latest updates and get Spybot and use that, too. There are some programs that leave hidden files on your machine that will recognize that the original copy has been removed and then install it again.

My friend Baalzamon also got nailed with some spyware that actually went and deleted parts of AdAware so it wouldn't work anymore.
