This should take care of it:
The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download CleanUp! http://cleanup.stevengould.org/ (Alternate Link if main link don't work - http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/Cleanup.exe ) and install it. Run CleanUp! and click on CleanUp! button. When it asks you if you want to logoff, click on Yes.
Restart and see if the problem is still there.

also if you go to www.mlin.net
there is a program called "Startup control panel" get that and check to see what is starting up with windows because that has all parts of where programs can start up with windows and you wont have to go through the registry to find them as it is all in that program :)
You can also try :
Go to start --> run and type
sfc /scannow
Then press enter ( making sure you have the windows xp cd in the cd / dvd rom drive ! )
Also if none of the above works then either do a repair install or look around on the site below :

I hope this helps

It sounds like something might be left-over from the Ad-aware uninstall, and it's trying to launch with Windows.
