"Search Enhancement Pack," folder appears at the start of my computer.

For a while when my computer starts a window pops up that contains a folder named "Microsoft", which in turn contains a folder named 'Search Enhancement Pack', the two files in date 25/12/2010. The files are in my computer/HP_Pavilion C: / Program Files. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I guess that this issue came on my computer in a download automatic update of Windows that I did not knowingly download it myself. How can I stop happening, please? I asked this question on Microsoft Answers, who tried to help, but running out of suggestions and said I should post my question here. Unfortunately, Windows Live Solution Center can help me and sent me here. Help please.

Hello, Kim S,.

Thank you for your advice.

I haven't had any software or hardware changes before this problem, just something that could come in the automatic updates in Microsoft Windows.

I followed all your instructions but, unfortunately, the issue still persisted thereafter.

Out of desperation I decided to take the risk of trying to remove all the files contained in the records of the problem. In the msconfig window services tab, I found a service called SeaPort. I recognized the name of one of the files that I had seen when I searched through all the folders/Microsoft Search Enhancement Pack individually. I disabled this service and rebooted the computer. I tried to delete the files/Microsoft Search Enhancement Pack, but my computer would not allow it. I then individually deleted all files and folders in the folders of Microsoft/Search Enhancement Pack, and finally delete the two folders themselves. Then I went back to msconfig and clicking Normal Startup - load all the device drivers and services and then on OK. This seems to have solved the problem and I didn't notice the adverse consequences of my actions on my computer. So I think that the issue is now closed. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me with this problem.

Concerning
