When I use advanced system care to clean out missing files and other rubbish on my computer I get a long list of ' Missing MRU files' What are these and is there any way to avoid these ?
We are born into history and history is born into us.

answer from another forum (Lavasoft)
Quote Hi, Gloria. MRU (Most Recently Used) items are nothing more than lists of the most recent files accessed by various processes/programs on your system. For example, if you open any of the MS Office products they display a list of the last several files that were created/edited. These are normal system features and not the result of any malware.
Some people consider these a privacy concern and clear them out. Others, like myself, appreciate the convenience that they offer and keep them.
You can prevent Ad-Aware from reporting these by deselecting the "Search for negligible risk entries" switch in the Preparing System Scan pane which appears after you click the Scan now button.
