Hi all. I seem to have the system32 folder appearing every
now and again. Can someone tell me why? Is it viral
related? After I reboot, it usually happens. I close it
and it may or may not appear again. Please help. Thanks
Sandy
 
This can also be caused by a failed Malware Installer (We think LOP) that
leaves incorrect entries in the autostart registry section, one of them
being one that can open system32.

Create a directory on your hardrive to save HijackThis.exe. A directory
like c:\hijackthis. If you do not do this, you will not be able to use the
backup/restore features.

Download HijackThis from:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip

or here:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/hijackthis.zip

Save this file into the directory you made previously and then run the
program named hijackthis.exe. When the program opens click on the Config
button, then click on the Misc Tools button, and click on the Check for
update online button. When it completes checking/applying updates press the
back button.

Now click on the Scan button and when it is finished click on the Save Log
button. A Notepad window will open with the contents of this log. Click on
Edit then click on Select all. Then click on Edit and then Click on Copy.

Create a reply to this post here or register an account and post a message

click in message area and select paste to paste the log into the post.

Someone will reply to you after reading this post. DO NOT fix any entries
unless you understand what you are doing.

Hi this is what I was told to do. Can someone decipher it
