mobsync.exe:

"Microsoft Mobile Synchronization Manager. One annoying programme you
will find running in W2K/XP is mobsync.exe. This is because it is set by
default to synchronise your home page at log-on. To stop this, run the
programme "Synchronise" from your "Start/Programmes/Accessories Menu.
Select setup, and uncheck the synchronisation options, then deselect the
option to synchronise your home page. From explorer select Tools/Folder
Options/Offline Files: deselect the "Enable Offline Files" option. When
you reboot you will find the programme is no longer running by default."

sys32.exe
a worm/trojan
Have you an uptodate AV app?
Try www.Symantec.com look for 'on line scan'
Might be an idea to checkout Adaware and/or SpyBot Search & Destroy

When I start a certain program, it tries to install "DAO", Microsoft's Data
Access Object. I believe this is part of the Access database product that
comes with Office. The installer calls for the disk with DAO on it, but
the Office disks don't seem to fill the need. Can somebody suggest how to
get around the problem. Note that I just kill off the Installer, and the
software product starts and runs with no problem. Thanks.

I believe it may only be included with Office that included Access
Also check the MS Office updates site as well as Winupdate

Can this be uninstalled, or removed from the start-up list or just deleted
without usent AV ?

It tends to reinstall if not removed correctly/completely
