At Start-Up get error msg " Cannot import sys.reg: Error opening this file. There maybe a disk or file system error " Shortly after a window, named Winnt-4x\system32 opens. I have checked my system for a file sys.reg but none exist.
Can I fix this situation without having to spend about 8 hours re-installing all my software.
I have run Rdisk but the results are store on my hard drive, not a floppy, due to its size,2.73 MB in 9 files.

Yes is spyware, first you must remove the next line in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"sys"="regedit /s sys.reg"

Then you can definitely delete the file sys.reg
