SYS 32 FILE KEEPS OPENING ON BOOT UP

[Ext User(armourexe)]

whenever I startup my computer the machine goes through all the normal
routines put the the shortcuts on screen etc, however the last thing it does
is open up the sys 32 file on my desktop, can anyone help?

Please provide more specific details. Is it a Windows Explorer folder, or what? Is there a title bar on that window? What does it say?
And do you mean it opens Windows Explorer at folder %windir%\System32 ?

Sorry to say buddy but think you got a nasty virus. That file, as I've
searched for it, is not required and is a sign of a virus, spyware or
resource hogger. Your best bet is to run spyware programs and do a
complete system scan with a virus scanner to hopefully get it removed.
Best of luck.
