Hi Kartar - AdAware, updated, will reportedly remove this parasite. First
you might wnat to try the following:

"This problem shows up because someone used a trial version of the
programming tool Delphi to write some software. They then published that
software and it ended up on your computer. Now that this person's trial
period of Delphi has expired, so has the software on your computer.
Unfortunately, this software appears to be what is called a "Shell
Extension," which is a piece of software that Windows loads and talks to
whenever you click on a file, open Internet Explorer, and in some other
situations as well. We have been able to determine which program is causing
this error, however we are still not quite sure how it is finding it's way
onto customers' computers.
Note: If you believe that this an application you should not remove please
use your own judgement of what you should do.
To remove this software, open up Control Panel via the Start Menu. Some
users have reported that the error prevents them from doing this; in this
case you will need to boot your computer into Safe Mode. To do this, reboot
the machine and press F8 as it is starting up. You will be presented with a
list of options, one of which is "Safe Mode." Once you have the Control
Panel open, select "Add/Remove Programs." You will see a list of
applications installed on your machine. One of these should be called "CPR."
Remove this application with the Add/Remove Programs window, and you should
see these errors go away. The users that we have spoken to have all reported
that this CPR application was not something they intentionally installed,
and have not reported any negative side effects from the removal of it.
On rare occasions, using Add/Remove Programs is not enough; a reference to
this software is still left on the machine and the error will persist. In
this case, you need to delete the offending software manually, and you will
need to log back into Safe Mode to do it. Once in Safe Mode, open the Start
Menu and select "Run." In the Run dialog, enter "cmd." This will take you to
a DOS window. Navigate to the c:windowssystem32 like so:
cd \windows\system32
and then remove the file manually by typing
erase cpr.dll
Reboot into normal mode and you should see the error go away."
