this may sound odd... but, i had a slight problem with a
virus and it was suggested by my anti-virus program i
delete System32.exe so i did, no big deal, but when i
start windows it bothers me about not being able to find
WINNT/System32/System32.exe, i couldnt find the file on
my OS disk... any suggestions on how to disable the
program trying to run it, or getting a new sys32 file?

The "system32.exe" file, at first glance, might appear to be a Windows =
XP
file. It is not. It is actually a virus file.

Remove remnants of KWBot.Worm from the Registry and File System

Note: You'll have to disable your antivirus program before running the =
repair.
