I did a Windows search and found pcreposix.dll in various subdirectories of Program Files\Box Backup and in various zip files ("compressed (zipped) folders") under there, left over from prior updates.  

 

Not sure if this helps (Box Backup is installed in C:\Program Files\Box Backup\):  
P:\>path
PATH=C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;D:\Program Files\;D:\cygwin\bin;
P:\>echo %ProgramFiles%
C:\Program Files

No, sorry, I neglected to mention that in my post. They were not shown in Task Manager.  After logging in and out of that server a few times today, the bbackupquery file, now renamed to just "x" still can't be deleted, with Access denied.  bbackupd.exe is running, but no bbackupquery (or "x") process.  Maybe weirder still, I can move it (cut and paste) to another directory, but still can't delete it from that new location. If I copy and paste it, I can delete the copy.  ... Got it... I had a flashback that maybe cygwin was involved a year ago on this server.  I opened a cygwin terminal and did this, slightly redacted:

Thanks, Chris.
