Hi. First of all: Sorry my bad english.. try to handle it :)
I was wondering that why some Setup.exe files won't execute. When i doubleclick on a setup.exe file, my xp throws out an error message which says something like "C:\setup\setup.exe not found. Check the path and filename blaahblaah".
For example, this problem occurs when trying to install Half-Life from a cd. (which worked in my friend's computer.. he has xp too..)

So i lost my nerves and because of that i now have another problem too.. i installed my friend's xp to my computer and now i have two xp's. The one i installed recently worked fine with half-life, but after 2 minutes of using, the system gives 1 minute to save unsaved works in progress and then reboots automatically..

Also the second XP install will be in a file named winnt. Just delete it.

Oh I allmost forgot!
After you remove and patch the virus, click on start/run and type in sfc /scannow.
This will replace/repair any lost or altered files.
