Someone help!!! Everytime I turn on my dell laptop, it opens the windows System32 folder. This also happens whenever I use the google search engine. A little sidenote, the windows "Seach" option in the start menu also does not work. It just pauses the computer for a second. All this started at the same time, so they may be connected. Any help is apprieciated.
