Suspicious Path

[Sadat]

Hi

I have XP Pro/SP 2. My system restarts arbitrarily before letting me into
desktop. The environment varibles had the following detail:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

What is Wbem? Is it a virus folder? Should I delete it to stop its
execution?

Regards,
Sadat
