WHEN YOU DELETE THEM ONE PROBLEM YOU MY HAVE IS IF ONE OF THE SPYWARE COMPONENTS IS IN A APPLICATION OR PROGRAM YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET TO USE WILL STOP WORKING IF YOU DELETE THE SPY WARE FROM IT.
I DELETED ALL 70 X COMPONENTS ON MY COMPUTER AND HAVE NOT ANY PROBLEMS SO FAR.
THERE IS A MANUAL WITH THE AD-AWARE PROGRAM THAT MY BE OF USE.

bde comes from kazaa, get rid of it.
