In AdAware, when the scan's finished, click the tab that says "Scan Log" or something like that. Then there should be a button that allows you to save the logfile. That will preserve the identities of whatever it's found so that you can post them here.

If it's just tracking cookies (which I think AdAware regards as "critical problems"), you'll continue picking them up as soon as you start browsing the Internet again. You may reduce the number if you install and use a HOSTS file - that's been very good for me at keeping my "infections" down to trivial numbers of tracking cookies only.
