System 32 Folder at Startup?

[Arch2k]

When I log on to my computer at home, the "System 32" folder automatically comes up. Is there any way to stop this from happening?



P.S. My folder:

C: Documents and SettingsJeffStart MenuProgramsStartup

is empty.

did you run a trojan scan on it?

I believe that I have ran Ad-Aware since the problem presented itself. Running Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot now just to make sure.

Ran it...didn't work. Any other suggestions?

Someone more knowledge than myself may have to correct this, but I don't believe Adaware and Spybot will catch trojans. You'll need an anti-virus program such as McAfee or Norton to clean out a trojan. Of course, I can't guarentee this is what's going on with your machine.

if you think its a trojan run A squared. also update your virus defs and run a scan. if neither of those work let me know...

forgot to mention, ad aware and spy bot are not trojan scanners...

Do you have win xp? Run system restore.

I ran this, but no luck. But thanks for the link (and advice)!

It worked! That pesky folder doesn't pop up every time I log in now. I'll remember system restore for the next time.
