I'm sorry, but I can't answer your questions. I don't know what files
you had, where they came from, where you put them, what Microsoft
AntiSpyware found on your computer, or what you told it to delete.
I recommend posting your questions in a news group devoted to
Microsoft AntiSpyware. See:

>Where can I clean the registry of Kazaa?

Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group
for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions
addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
