Hello all, I recently have fallen victem to a number of viruses and worms. Thanks to this informative forum i have seen the error of my ways and hopefully turned the corner from Newb to competant user. I managed to remove what i could of the problems but my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder popsup everytime i boot my computer. Is this a remnant of a virus that i haven't fully dug out??
