First, you might want to delete 'system32.exe' (the virus) from C:\Windows\System32 folder. Then, to get rid of the error message whenever you start up the pc (cannot find system32.exe), do the following: Click on start/run >(type in box)"regedit", ok. In the left-hand pane expand the following by clicking on the munus signs..... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion Now, double-click on 'Winlogon' to show the contents in the right hand pane. In the right hand pane, double click on the word 'Shell', which should have a data value "Explorer.exe C:\SYSTEM32\System32.exe" Double click. This opens an edit box displaying the above data value. Now delete everything after "Explorer.exe", then click ok. The data value of shell now reads "Explorer.exe" Now close regedit and reboot your computer.....presto!...no more popup window. Hope you're able to find everything ok. From my understanding, C:\windows\system32 is a folder, but should not contain a program called system32.exe. This program is the virus. I deleted it with no consequences.
