PROBLEM!!!

[FARRUKH]

RECENTLY I HAVE INSTALLED NORTON ANTI-VIRUS ONTO MY
COMPUTER AND AFTER RUNNING A FULL SCAN OF THE COMPUTER IT
SHOWED THAT "SYSTEM32.EXE" IN THE
FOLDER "D:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/SYSTEM32.EXE" IS INFECTED WITH
A VIRUS NAMED " BACKDOOR.SDBOT " AND HAS THUS QUARANTINED
IT. NOW WHEN EVER I SWITCH ON MY COMPUTER AND AFTER THE
WINDOWS XP HAS BEEN LOADED IT DISPLAYS THE ERROR ABOUT THE
SAME FILE THAT IT CANNOT BE FOUND, BUT AFTER CLICKING OK
THE COMPUTER STARTS FUNCTIONING THE SAME WAY AS IF NOTHING
HAS HAPPENED.
I KNOW HOW TO UN-QUARANTINE A FILE BUT I DONT KNOW WETHER
I SHOULD DO THAT BECAUSE I AM A BROADBAND USER AND I'M
AFRAID MY COMPUTER MAY GET HACKED AND MY DATA MAY BE
STOLEN OR VIEWED BY HACKERS.
PLS HELP ME IN THIS REGARD AS SOON AS POSIBLE, BY EMAILING

Try this,go to system restore page and click on settings and turn off system
restore , reboot and go back and turn on system restore and then create your
self a new restore point.
Hope this helps

Turn off your caps locks!
Its rude and considered shouting.

"System32.exe" is a VIRUS file. It is not a Windows XP system file.

Remove remnants of KWBot.Worm from the Registry and File System
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_clean_kwbot.htm

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.
