Oh great lol. So is the computer fried? Or Do I have to reinstall everything? Those evil fuckers. I hope they die tragic deaths, but only after their families and friends die before them in horrible ways. That way they can know the full depth of the consequences for their silly actions.
How totally inconvenient.

The site you linked points to a program called Spy Assassin and promises to 'FREES UP VALUABLE DISK SPACE'. It certainly did that... by deleting your Windows system files. 
Ad-Aware 6.0 is a good program, produced by LavaSoft (www.lavasoft.us). The site you linked likely infringes on their trademark. The site you linked has nothing to do with LavaSoft. It is a common ploy of the type of spyware programs that are in fact spyware themselves, to try to pass themselves off as LavaSoft's Ad-Aware or SpyBot - S&D.
Chances are the program download is a bunch of programs hacked together; it's unsurprising it damaged windows.
Sorry you had a bad experience.
N.B for other users:
Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 Link. Good product
LavaSoft Ad-Aware 6. Another good product.
