N Norm Oct 26, 2003 #2 Strange, because my XP Home machine runs just fine without that file. You actually don't want it because it's created by a Trojan virus. Read this: http://www.computing.net/windowsxp/wwwboard/forum/80586.html

B Bruce Chambers Oct 26, 2003 #3 Greetings -- You really don't want to get that file back. It's part of several well-known viruses/worms. It is *not* a valid Windows file. Pay particular attention to _all_ of the removal instructions: W32.Kwbot.C.Worm http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.kwbot.c.worm.html Additionally, MS-MVP Doug Knox has kindly scripted a tool that should help: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_clean_kwbot.htm Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH
