I am running Windows XP and recently everytime my PC starts up my SYSTEM32 folder opens ?.
I have checked the startup folder and can find nothing in there so I was going to rebuild my machine as it was running slower and slower. It was whilst logging onto this website (which by the way is fantastic and I wish I had known about it earlier!) to download the drivers for my broadband modem (was directed to this by the Blue Yonder Helpdesk) that I discovered my machine had several parasites (never heard of them before !). On reading about their removal I noticed that the SYSTEM32 folder was mentioned ?. Anyway to cut a long story short I ran the software to remove the parasites and hoped my SYSTEM32 problem would be fixed however on rebooting this folder opened again (the machine and internet now run a lot quicker after those parasites where removed).
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas/clues as to why this is happening ?
