Yes, it's correct.

Did you run on XP?
Ran Adwcleaner 6.045 and was not notified of new version 6.046 being available. I seen the new version available and downloaded it manually.
Are you sure it isn't a false positive? I had these files detected as well, but on my pc, it's the uninstaller for a program called COUGAR UIX™ System. It's a driver/firmware installer and mouse function editor for the Cougar 700M mouse.

This screenshot shows the file path for the uninstaller shortcut:
Here is the scan log from my pc:

I've had adwcleaner also pick these files up today as well. I'd sit tight for a bit and wait for a reply as i'm pretty sure these are false positives.
