windows xp error messages

[kachow]

i get the following message(s) when i start up:
C:\windows\msagent\csklqk.pif ....it says "invalid program file name, please check pif file....
then: aquadcup.exe--unable to locate component. Application failed..MFC70.DLL not found....
I can close these messages, but THEN i often have trouble getting online, or my connections are lost. What's happening...? Anyone have a clue?
I appreciate your help and thank you....Kachow

Those files are almost certainly Virus/Trojan/Spyware related. Almost certainly you have an infected PC.

Do you run an updated antivirus program?

Have you scanned with AdAware and Spybot?

OK!, not a computer genius here. I ahve windows xp home edition on my hp. I recently uninstalled a few of those hijacker/adware/spyware programs but for some reason htey aren't leaving my programs list.
Also about every ten to thirty minutes my windows will just disappear, or I will get an error message that says a problem has occured and the programs need to close.
I ALSO have a wupdater message, data1.dat not found.


WHat is going on here, i have searched help topics on my pc, adn have looked up several on line, i cant seem to get these problems straight


HELP!!! Damsel in distress here!!!!
Thanks!
