Error message on opening CD

[Guest]

I get the following message when trying to open an install file on a CD disc
"C/windows/system32/autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable running MS
Dos and Windows applications
I have XP with service pack 2 installed
Any ideas how to solve?

Seems to be an epidemic lately....

This can be caused by a trojan.

Get rid of the trojan.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Copy the autoexec.nt file from C:\Windows\Repair to C:\Windows\System32.
And set Attributes for autoexec.nt to Read-only.

Read-only
[[Specifies whether this file is read-only, which means that it cannot be
changed or accidentally deleted.]]

1. Right click the file.
2. Properties.
3. Select: Read-only.
4. Click: Apply.
5. Click: OK.

Your computer is infected with a trojan.

Suggest you research basic home computer security tactics and implement them
immediately.

You need to have a reputable, two way software firewall in place. The
Windows SP2 firewall is near useless.

You need to have a reputable antivirus program installed and it must be kept
updated.

You need to use adaware, spybot, CWShredder and other tools on a regular
basis.

Once your system is clean, please do all of the above to keep it
clean...that way your computer will not become a vector for infecting other
machines.
