Re: System 32 folder opens during start up

["Scott Hendrickson" <scott () scotthendrickson com>]

Microsoft has a KB article on this..

but the real question is why did this start happening?  The most likely 
cause is virus/spyware/malware...you probably will want to run some spyware 
removers and make sure your anti-vrus is up to date.
