cmd.exe opens the command prompt window (DOSwindow). everytime you delete it Win2K will recreate it when you reboot. you may want to update your virus software & definition files, then run a full scan.

Looks as if you have the Nimda Virus.

I know what's the problem, To solve this problem you will need to your registry. Follow the next steps:

Run>>type: regedit>>open H_Key_Local Machine>>software>>microsoft>>Windows>>Current User>>Run>>> Highlight run, and then on the right pane, you will find the cmd.exe. If you can't find it, just double click each of them until you find it, then delete the string with the path. That's it!!!!
