_winsystem.sys smss.exe in startup. is it a virus/spyware?Configuration:
Should it be removed from startup?

Answer:
Definitely remove, its either a virus, spyware, adware or "hogs resources"
Added by the SOBER.K TROJAN! Note - this is not the legitimate lsass.exe process which is always located in the System (9x/Me) or System32 (NT/2K/XP) folder and should not normally figure in Msconfig/Startup! This file is located in a msagentwin32 subfolder of the Winnt or Windows folder
Operating System : Windows XP
