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.

| Hi, Can anyone possibly provide me with some advice on 
| the following error message i'm getting.
| 
| Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\System32.exe' 
| Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
| 
| I assume that when i find it or get a copy of it i just 
| drop it into the System32 folder.
| 
| thank you in advance for your help
