If you wanna removal instructions NOW please comment. Basically you have to remove all files and all registry entries. Plus scan with an anti adware/spyware software. NoAdware does remove Admedia automatically cause it is in the research center and spyware/adware database.
So if you see some strange popups or ads on your computer related to AdMedia they are dangerous. If your browser settings change and you start seeing AdMedia websites that is also a sign you have been infected. That is the aim of this adware — to deliver advertisements on your computer without your permission. They want you to buy their stuff!!
Hope it helps.
