PCTOOLS REPLACED BY COMODO FIREWALL

I always used PCtools Firewall Plus, now they offered PCT Firewall 7 for free, so I downloaded it and ran setup.
The program told me to uninstall ad-aware from LAVASOFT.
I did everything to remove all traces of ad-aware from my computer.
1) I uninstalled the program
2) I removed it from start up with MSCONFIG.exe
3)I removed it partly from services and disabled what could not be removed
4)I removed every file, directory, link, icon and all files containing the words lavasoft and ad ware.
5) Removed all control sets containing those names, and every mention of the program in REGISTRY with REGEDIT.
THE PROGRAM KEPT "SEEING" lAVASOFT.
I ASKED PCTOOLS TO HELP ME INSTALL THE PROGRAM TO TEST IT BEFORE BUYING IT !!!!!!!!
THEIR ANSWER: AS YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED AS BUYER IN OUR DATABASE WE CANNOT ADVISE YOU.
I EDITED MY REVIEW BECAUSE I WANT TO LET THE MEMBERS KNOW ABOUT
MY PROBLEM.
AND I ASK THE MEMBER WHO MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY COARSE LANGUAGE TO CONTACT ME.
