How to fix SYSTEM.EXE infected with virus

[Guest]

Hello

I scanned my computer using Norton Anti-virus and it reported that the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\system.exe infected with virus but it cannot repair the file. How can I fix the problem? Thank you!

Hello Wesley

I tried to delete the file but Window did not let me do it. Is that not a system file? Can you tell me how to delete it? I appreciate for your help

Right click on the taskbar and select "task manager". Kill the system.exe
process (not SYSTEM) and then try deleting the file.
