It's the virus you recently deleted. 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.


Or read
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.kwbot.c.worm.html
and pay particular attention to step 4 in the section headed
"removal instructions," near the bottom.

That was a virus, which has been removed - you do not want it back. One
of those that pretends to be a 'proper' system file, in this case cmd.ee
without the 32, in the hope it will not be noticed.

Start - Run, run the line
MSConfig
and on its Startup page look for a line where 'Command' shows this file,
and uncheck the box on its left by clicking in it. Exit: don't bother
to reboot, but next time you do, there will be a message from 'System
Configuration Utility' saying you are in Troubleshooting mode. Check
the box 'Don't show this again' and click Exit
