“lsdelete program not found - skipping AUTOCHECK.” What Is This?

This was on a computer system that I repaired yesterday, which at startup using Microsoft Windows XP, presented the following message:
“lsdelete program not found - skipping AUTOCHECK”.
So I did a Google and found this:
Uninstall ADAWARE 2007 from add/remove programs
Manually remove LAVASOFT folder in Program files
Go to START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, RUN
Type in REGEDIT
Search for LAVASOFT and manually delete any LAVASOFT entries
Click on EDIT and then FIND
Type in BOOTEXECUTE and then search and open the entry
Manually edit the entry and remove the information for LSDELETE
Do NOT change any other AUTOCHECK information
RESTART computer and all will be back to normal
I followed the above instruction and the error was gone. The owner said that in his opinion the system seemed to boot faster after this was removed. It could just be the ’secret magic’ I used to clean up the junk. 
Hope this helps someone.
PLEASE NOTE: This procedure requires modifying the Windows Registry. Be Careful!
Comments welcome.

I was on the beta team for that product. I had seen that problem, but was told it was no longer causing trouble.
I was involved through almost all the beta cycle and found the program not that helpful, so I don’t use it. Others may take that for what it’s worth. I also did not participate after being asked for the new version (in progress now, 2008) after sending a letter about certain things which were not addressed in the last version.

Hi I’ve done this on windows xp home, I removed the lsdelete autocheck in the bootexe, and this didn’t work. I was told to remove the lavasoft folder manually, which I did and I still get this message at start up.
Can anyone Help?

I can’t even get to that point - How do I get back into my computer? When it tells me “autocheck program not found…skipping autocheck” - it turns off and starts to reboot over again - it just keeps in this endless cycle and I can’t get to a point where I can enter any commands. Is there a trick to stopping this cycle?
