    After running Adaware started receiving message that aqadcup.exe is unable to locate mfc70.dll
    What are these and what if anything do I do??

    sounds like you have more spyware on your machine..

    Run SpyBot Search and Destroy next

    I just re-ran Spybot and it found what appeared to be the same 3 items to delete. AdAware found 217 items and I'm a bit skeptical about deleting them all. When I did delete some that is when I get the message about not locating mfc70.dll and unable to run aqadcup,exe

    you should be fine to delete anything found i expect most of the results are actually just cookies, ad-aware will make a back up anyway so you can restore some items in the highly unlikely event that ad-aware removes a needed file ;)

    might i suggest a program like this for clearing out your cookies etc on a regular basis, best of all its free

    that's because an item is starting up that is looking for those files. Most likely remnance of a piece of spyware. Ad-Aware had new reference files as of yesterday.. did you update the reference files for it?

    have you checked your MSCONFIG (start -> run .. type MSCONFIG then hit enter) startup tab to see what is loading at boot?

    Don't worry about Adaware or Spybot. I've never had them kill anything important.

    I re-ran them both and killed everything. Improvement is starting to show.
