Though the address appears to be to Microsoft, my Automatic update is
disabled. Other than visiting some generic web pages, I haven't run
anything that was called crypt32, or installed any new software or drivers.

What triggered this crypt32?

Were you browsing secure web pages (https) at the time? That might do it.

Thanks, so you are saying that 'crypt32' is a trusted M$ app. Right?
