QUESTION: my computer( pent.4 WindowsXP home) on startup gives me a message that says system32.exe(C:/windows/system32) is missing and since i recieved that message my computer CPU usage has been running at 100% for the majority of the time! Can anyone tell me where i cud d/l this file from or if some one cud pm me and possible send the file in a e-mail that wud be great!

Thanks guys

Thanks again

the file "system32.exe" doesn't exist
there is a dir called "system32", but no exe file called that
what you have is probably a trojan/worm
if you have an antivirus software use it and updated it, however registry values have probably been added
usually when sh*t like this happens the best option is to format your hdd (i usually do it every 2 or 3 weeks anyways).
