the second part of your COPY command does not include the file name. You specify the file name to copy, but not what it's destination name is.

I found this topic by chance when searching for Ad-aware posts. I wonder if the problem still exists.

The problem is in the space here:
REN %systemdrive%\Programmi\Lavasoft\Ad-aware^6\reflist.ref reflist.old

It should be:
REN "%systemdrive%\Programmi\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\reflist.ref" reflist.old

However, this is a better string:

COPY /y "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdAwarePro\reflist.ref" "%systemdrive%\Programmi\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\"
