You don't want it back. It's the virus you 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.

Its not a valid Windows file. Its the virus file that was deleted, and XP is still trying to load.
