Error Message on Startup

John Rathbone

Hi, Can anyone possibly provide me with some advice on
the following error message i'm getting.

Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\System32.exe'
Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.

I assume that when i find it or get a copy of it i just
drop it into the System32 folder.

thank you in advance for your help

This worm causes an error message that "CMD32.EXE" cannot be found on startup.
The error message may also be that "system32.exe" cannot be found.

Note: You'll have to disable your antivirus program before running the repair.
