trojan help

[ben]

my system32.exe file has been infected with a trojan; i
put it in quarantine with mcafee virus scan but now an
error message comes up everytime i log in. What is the
importance of this file and is there anyway to disinfect
or replace it?

ben,

That file is a virus. This should solve your problem;
1. Click Start, and click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
2. Type regedit and then click OK. The Registry Editor opens.
3. Navigate to the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

4. In the right pane, delete the value

System32 C:\Windows\System32.exe

or

System32 C:\Winnt\System32.exe

5. Navigate to the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

6. In the right pane, double-click each of the following values and change them to the preferred settings:

RegisteredOwner
RegisteredOrganization

7. Click Registry, and then click Exit to save the changes.
