Hi Justin,

Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Don't forget to run a virus scan on a regular basis as well Justin.

No, the file is a virus, you need to get rid of it.

I have just done a Google search on "System32.exe", everything seems to say
that it is NOT a valid Windows file, in fact the file is a deposit from a
virus.

Below is a link to 'Symantic' that gives details as to the matter;
