Those files are from malware. Apparently MAS deleted the executables but
didn't remove the references to them in Startup. Remember, MAS is still
in beta. Besides, you need more than one antispyware tool to keep your
computer clean. I suggest you also get Spybot Search & Destroy and
Ad-aware. Both are free and you can get them at www.majorgeeks.com.
Install them, update them, and do a scan with each of them in Safe
Mode.
To stop the annoying startup error message:
Go to Start>Run and type (without quotes) "msconfig" [enter]. This
brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and
OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do
you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box
that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".
