The newly installed Ad-Aware Antivirus Pro (v10) program just disabled all your attempts to open or use Microsoft Excel documentary files? Could not open the running Ad-Aware Antivirus Pro program in Taskbar? Encountered some really nagging information boxes that had really slowed down the installed web browser tools, even your whole Windows operating system and more other reported real-time Anti-Virus application compatibility issues? Ended up with the Error 2721 while you were trying to start and complete the express uninstall of Ad-Aware Antivirus Pro?

To view your personal MS excel documents, you follow these quick steps to run your computer without Lavasoft’s malware protection you installed: 1) Logged on as system administrator, press down the Windows/Home + D key to enter your computer’s desktop and then, you then cut off the Internet connection. 2) Click the Show hidden icons in Taskbar, scroll up the menu, move your mouse to the black A icon, the installed Ad-Aware Antivirus Pro program. 3) You then right-click on it, launch the Exit option on the menu and then, you click the Yes button on the Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + info box, warning “Do you want to exit?”.

To re-run your Ad-Aware Antivirus Pro software, you can double-click on its shortcut files created on the Windows desktop, or the one in its program folder listed in Program list.
