I downloaded a bad version of windowblinds off kazaa and it rooted a cmd32.exe in my system32 folder. Lukily, Norton was able to detect the file before it did anything, but every time I boot to windows it gives me this annoying popup saying: "Critical Error: The following file or extension cannot be detected..cmd32.exe"

I tried finding the startup root through the startup folder in the accessories menu and by running "msconfig" but none display a cmd32.exe extension. How do I clear this and is there a chance that Norton hasn't deleted all of this trojan?

Thnks in advance.

You probably just have to make a couple of registry changes to get rid of that error message.
