Remove remnants of KWBot.Worm from the Registry and File System

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.

You don't want that file. CMD32.exe *is* the virus; it's
certainly not a valid Windows system file. Pay particular attention
to _all_ of the removal instructions:

W32.Kwbot.C.Worm

Additionally, MS-MVP Doug Knox has kindly scripted a tool that
should help:
