Yeah, as the topic said, ever since I got this www.topsecuritysite.net kind of virus, it kept making my home page www.topsecuritysite.net. I think I got rid of the virus, as in I can get my IE home page whatever I wanted to now. The only thing that bugs me now is the Folder C:\WINDOWS\system32 just keeps on popping up on the desktop everytime I start my computer. Anyone know whats the deali-o-?




-Thanks-
(In advance)

"After trying a number of things to remove this troublesome issue I finally found a solution that worked for me. I used the Autoruns utility (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html) to scan the system, under the logon tab there was a registry setting (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run under it there was an Entry 'kernel32.dll' with an image path of 'c:\windows\system32\'. I unticked this and rebooted the system and the problem had disappeared. If this solves the problem then go back into Autoruns Utility and delete it." Posted by: Dstroyr at June 13, 2006 06:16 PM
After I found this doing my last resort search on google, because I search almost for about 2-3 hrs for this. I finally found it after I just posted this thing up.
