Win cannot find mfcmg32.exe

[Guest]

On booting, am getting the message
Windows cannot find c:/windows\system32\mfcmg32.exe

Anyone know what mfcmg32 .exe is? I suspect it is a worm that was not
completely deleted, so just need to complete a clean up, but not sure. The
computer will start in safe mode

Sorry if this has been covered elswhere, but could not find any other
references.

Thanks

It is malware. You don't want it !

Execute MSCONFIG.EXE and go to the Startup tab. Disbale the line iten that loads;
