I just opened msconfig to weed out unneeded startup programs and I found 7 new entries:

.gtk-bookmarks command \.gtk-bookmarks
.recently-used command \recently use-xbel
ntuser.dat command \ntuser
.....and some other ntuser files in what looks like a Linux structure??? Googleing .gtk-bookmarks yields Linux oriented pages

I swear this crap wasn't there as of last boot. What the hell is it?

I have Windows XP professional SP3

Post in the Am I infected section, this is abnormal and should be treated as an infection.

My work schedule is as follows: Mon and Tues 1800 to 0600, Friday - Sunday 1800EST to 0600, and Wednesday to Thursday 1800est to 0600. So if I do not respond right away I am at work.
