BleepingComputer.com: weird boot-up problem

Hey,

So I removed PalladiumPro from my computer yesterday and I followed the removal instructions from this website and they worked well. The program is gone but my computer started running really slowly so I shut it off. I go to start it today and there are no desktop icons, but the Start bar is there. I can't open any programs because the computer freezes if I try and I can only occasionaly get the task manager to start. Explorer.exe is running but some program called aawservice.exe is using half my memory and most of the CPU power. I can't end the task and when I start in safe mode it is still there. Luckily in safe mode I can open programs and have desktop icons however. I thought it might have something to do with the shell edit in the Palladium removal guide but I merged it a second time and my problem is persisting.

Any Ideas?

I need to amend this slightly, in safemode it is ok on the admin account, on my account it is just a black screen.

A google search states that file is related to Lavasofts Adaware. Do you have that program installed?

It is no longer a recommended program and it`s usefulness\effectiveness is in question.
