Along with removing this from your CA folder :

You can also remove all the debug files , it seems these are all you need :

Game
HShield
Profiles
ahnrpt
AhnUPCtl.dll
(THE LAUNCHER)
dbghelp.dll
Engine
ltmsg.dll
MFC71.dll
mss32.dll
msvcp71.dll
msvcr
nmcogame.dll
nmconew.dll

The ones I removed I saved and did not delete
Removing the mss folder lets you not connect to the messenger
The rest ???
But my game starts up and I can still play

This may or may not help .
