Default Error Message

Every time I start windows up, after I enter my password to log in it sits there with the "windows blue screen" for about 30seconds then it comes up with an error message saying.

"Windows cannot find 'C:\DOCUME~1\DC\LOCALS~1\Temp\DAPREMOVE.EXE' Make sure you typed in the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search".

It's not threating my computer (at least I don't think it is). It just makes the FAST! start up slow now. Can anyone help or know what this is?

there's a program actually looking for that typical file at startup, look for the program and disable it !!
also check your anti-spyware status, i think that is a malware

Ok I think I know what the program is now. It's a download accelerator called DAP. I have looked in my "program files" folder and the "Add/Remove" list but I can't find the program. Have any ideas where I can look? Also I have AVG for my anti-virus and Ad-awareSE for my anti-spyware. I ran them both and nothing came up.
