Kernel32.exe is a fake threat generated by rogue anti-spyware application called Ultra Antivir2009. Fake security alert states that user's computer is infected with trojan virus named kernel32.exe. The full notification reads:

"Warning!Trojan Found!
Threat detected: Trojan
File name: kernel32.exe
Threat name: Trojan-PSW.Win32.Hooker
File at risk of infection: C:\Documents and Settings\…
Total Vulnerabilities: 2
Description: This is a password-stealing Trojan. When activated, it installs itself to the system, copies itself to the Windows or Windows system directory and registers itself in the system registry auto-run section."

If the user decides to click "Remove All" infections button, he will automatically download and install Ultra Antivir2009 onto his computer. And this is the worse case, because Ultra Antivir2009 may seriously compromise system security. That's why we strongly recommend users to ignore fake Kernel32.exe threat and remove pop-up window that displays this disinformation as soon as possible.
