Well, it could be legitimate, if anyone using your computer uses the print screen button to take a picture of your desktop. Are all of the pictures of your desktop?

If you want, you could try deleting the Explorer Captures folder and rebooting. See if it comes back after your reboot.

Have you experienced any other abnormal activity?

I believe that the Pdsched.exe worm has a couple of processes that come with it, that should also be gotten rid of. I can't remember where I found this information, but I'll be searching for it.

Have you also noticed strange running processes, or your firewall requesting irregular programs to acess the internet?
