I had to delete my Windows\system32\cmd32.exe file
because of the W32/kwbot.worm and now I can't figure out
how to get a download for it or recover it off the disks
for xp that I have. Please help. Beth

You don't want, or need, this file. It IS the virus!

Cmd32.exe is not a Windows file; it was the virus. You don't want
it back. You're now left with a reference to it that you need to
also get rid of. Go to
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_clean_kwbot.htm for
information on how to proceed.
