Hello sassyzorro

Why don't you go to this forum ---> http://www.bfccomputerhelp.com/index.php?act=idx and post a hijack log. They will help you find out if anything is on your computer that shouldn't be.We no longer analyze logs here.

Lightbulb Re: c:\windows\system32 loads everytime i log on

Hi,

Got this problem twice in a month, I suspect a registry cleaner or startup application but no certainty... take a look at default keys in registry :

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (or RunOnce)
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (or RunOnce)

Defaut keys should be : name = (Default), type = REG_SZ, value=(value not set). For me, value was empty (hence the c:\windows\system32 opening). One solution I found is to log in safe mode, regedit and delete corrupted keys (recreated automatically with the right value )

Don't know if it's your problem (empty Run entry).
