Hi

Since a few days I have the following problems with my pc.

When I start my computer I allways receives this error message:
"Windows cannot find the file C:\Windows\System32\System32.exe. Check if the
name is correct and try to find it again."

And when I want to open my explorer ( to go to my other drives and cd/dvd
drive ) I allways receive this error message:
"There has been an error in exlporer.exe and it has to be shut down. We
apologize for this", in this same message I can send a report of the error
to Microsoft.

Can someone tell me whats wrong with my system? And what I can do to get rid
of this problems without reinstalling Windows XP? Do I have a virus on my
system that is causing this problem? Can I easily get rid of this virus?

Kind Regards

System32.exe is _not_ a valid Windows file, but rather a file name
commonly used for a component of several well-known viruses, worms,
and Trojans.
