System32.exe not a valid win32 app

[Christopher Brown]

Whenever I log on to any profile on my computer (with XP
Home), it takes forever to "Load your settings", and then
it generates this error: C:\WINDOWS\System32\system32.exe
is not a valid Win32 application. Can I download the
file somewhere? What should I do and how should I do
it? Thanks.

system32.exe is a virus, looks like the virus is damaged, normally
system32.exe loads when you start windows
If you dont have a virus scanner go here to use a online virus scanner;

It could possibly be Backdoor.Miranda, but do virus scan to make sure
