Error message on startup

[Guest]

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me with the error message I keep getting when I
startup XP.

C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsft Windows applications. Choose !Close! to terminate this
application

Hav no idea what this means but also getting it when i insert a CD and try
to run it

Any help would be very appriciated
Thanks

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.
