    Winlogon is a native process (as opposed to a Win32 process).  It runs 
    early in the boot process.  As someone else noted, the path you saw is normal.
    
    It *does* have a DLL, MSGINA.DLL;  this gets the logon info from the user 
    for Winlogon.  It's designed so that third-parties can use, say, a 
    biometric MSGINA in place of the usual prompt.
    
    Next question is if it's possible for MSGINA to be co-opted?
    
    "Inside Windows 2000" is the best investment any Windows admin can make, 
    next to the RK.
    
    Take care,
    
    Dave
