That sounds bad. Winlogon.exe is part of all WinNT OS. Thats the good news.
The bad one is, as far as i know the location for this file is System32 folder.Without wanting to make panic, i suggest to letting AV software examine your computer.

everything else on my Pc runs as smooth as butter.... video games,software,etc......Only on a few websites do downloads cause the I.E. restart.......I hope it isn't to bad........I've run adaware and aol spyware protection and I've compressed the drive as well as defragged the Hd and I'v run the disk error check.......I've looked around and seenthings about it being in the windows registry but I'm stuck........ <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Are their running 2 Tasks Winlogon.exe? Please look at your Windows Task Manager.
You can also use hijackthis to look for registry started apps.

Yea hijackthis would probely be the smartest thing to do, run one, save the info and send it to someone who knows alot about those things, if you dont know any in person i think microsoft has support that would be glad to take a look at it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
