WIN XP System 32 Folder opens during windows startup

[Joe Hohe]

After several virus attacks, that were stopped by Norton
AV, WIN XP System 32 Folder opens at the end of Windows
XP Home startup. I have quaranteened and subsequently
removed the viruses, but the System 32 folder keeps
opening, like something is trying to make modifications.
any help would be appreciated

I have the same problem since several virus attacks in mid-December, most or all of which were intercepted by NAV. I've tried the posted registry fixes, with no results. So, I thought I'd simply Restore to a before mid-December date. But strangely, Rest
ore won't go back for more than 2 days, which is much different than it used to work. Any help appreciated.
