Unfortunately, that info no longer applies. there is a new version called VX2/? which cannot be removed in this way and is far more aggressive. The pop-ups are very discrete and look like they have come from a website you are browsing. At present, Ad-Aware 6 with full updates seems to be the only way to seek & destroy.

You can get it free from

(Make sure you do an online update once installed)
