System32.exe is not a windows program. It is a subdirectory of the Windows
directory, but not an executable that is included with Windows. So the
naming of the exe is very suspicious to start with, almost certainly malware
of some kind. Doing a search through online virus databases came up with
several hits of different viri that use this exe name. You almost certainly
have a virus of some kind. It may have compromised an antivirus scanner
running locally, or you may not have the most current virus definitions
downloaded. You could try an online virus scanner (there are some free ones
by the bigger vendors), and make sure your virus definitions are completely
up to date.
