I had this problem after installing Kies on my PC in order to fix my daughter's phone. Kies ran like a dog anyway so I was happy to say goodbye.

How did I get rid of MASetup Cleaner? I've got CCleaner on my PC (this is a free tool from Piriform) which hunts down orphan registry items, I found stacks of Samsung debris all over my reg - backed up, cleaned up...all fixed.

To remove the MAsetupcleaner from the startup folder using regedit Start->Run->type "regedit.exe" ->hit ENTER

1)Got to folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 2)->Software 3)->Microsoft 4)->Windows 5)->Current Version 6)->Run OR/AND RunOnce OR/AND RunServices OR/AND RunServicesOnce 7)And remove any entry containing MASetupcleaner.exe from there 8)Do steps 1 to 7 again but start in HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Alternatively you can do the following too:

 Go to Start->Run-> Type MSConfig and look in startup. Uncheck the box before MAsetupcleaner.

I am going to run 'regedit' and remove all to do with Kies. I've had nothing but trouble with the programme and will contact Vodafone because my Galaxy is on contract with them.

Same situation as the others.  I got the MASetupCleaner message on the first restart after installing (and deleting) Kies.  I ran a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials, and it found no problems.  The next restart was clean.  Maybe it takes one restart to complete the uninstall.  I can't think of anything else that I did that would have helped the situation.
