System 32

[Guest]

I accidently deleted my System32.exe file.. Now my computer has acted weird at times, and a screen always pops up when I turn the computer on.. Anyone know if I can download the file from somewhere? Please help.

It's a virus (or the remnants of one), and you don't want it.
http://google.com In the search box type SYSTEM32.EXE

What is the error message when the PC is powered up?

Hi Steven,

You don't really want that file back, as it is/was the Mari-C virus. You
need to do some cleanup, these pages can help:

Greetings --

The System32.exe file *is* a virus; it's certainly not a valid
WinXP system file. You don't want that 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:
