Hi, recently i have been attacked by tons of trojan and adware. I'm unable to list them since i forgot to note them down but my computer seems to be free from them now after using Norton Anti Virus scan and Super Ad Blocker. However, upon clearing them, whenever i reboot my computer the system 32 window will appear containing tons of files in it. It does not seem to affect my computer but its pretty annoying after some time.

I've tried to use the 'System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot' at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm to fix it but my computer responded - 'could not repair,expected value not found.'

I've also read up on the article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086 but have no idea what is going on. I would appreciate if someone could help me thanks.


i'm using
Windows microsoft windows XP home edition, version 2002, service pack 2; Norton Anti Virus 2005; Super Ad Blocker Version: 3.1.1008

I had the same problem, and found that there was a registry entry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer\Run-kernel32.dll with an image path of c:\Windows\system32\ I deleted this entry and the problem vanished. You must first be certain that you don't have the Zlob trojan or the trojan which redirects you to the Spywarequake website. as this can cause the problem as well. Microsoft has an article on the problem, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086
