ME firewall????

The main thing that would point me to a virus is that ad-aware picks
up alot of things like cookies and stuff like that

Which, as has already been mentioned, has nothing to do with the error you
see when booting.

Gary has explained some of the problems that AdAware might be flagging up
although this won't affect the system when booting. Gary has also
suggested steps you might want to take that should reduce the number of
problematic cookies that you have on your system. As for MRUs, Gary and
myself disagree. I see no problem in the registry containing details of
my most recently used entries in the likes of Excel, WinZip, Word, WMP
etc. etc. although I suppose that where a system is used by multiple users
and one user does not want another user to know what the first user was
doing then clearing MRUs may have some benefit.
