Greetings --

You really don't want to get that file back. It's part of several
well-known viruses/worms. It is *not* a valid Windows file. Pay
particular attention to _all_ of the removal instructions:

W32.Kwbot.C.Worm

Additionally, MS-MVP Doug Knox has kindly scripted a tool that
should help:

No, it's not stopping you from installing anything.

You don't want it back. System32.exe is a virus you presumably
deleted recently. You're now left with a reference to it that you
also need to remove.

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, Clean KWBot.Worm Registry
entries.
