What Does This Alert Mean?

[xrsick]

I think i'll just cut to the chase.
My problem is that when i log onto my computer the following appears in an alert box:

CANNOT FIND THE FILE 'info32.exe' (OR ONE OF ITS COMPONENTS) MAKE SURE THE PATH AND FILE NAME ARE CORRECT AND THAT ALL REQUIRED LIBRARIES ARE AVAILABLE.

Then when i click okay on that box another one comes up and says:

COULD NOT LOAD OR RUN 'info32.exe' SPECIFIED IN THE win.ini FILE. MAKE SURE THE FILE EXISTS ON YOUR COMPUTER OR REMOVE THE REFERENCE TO IT IN THE WIN.INI FILE.

What the hell did i do, and how the hell can i stop these boxes, what do they mean?
HELP ME IM GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!

Get a virus scanner.

I done what you said and downloaded the shredder but the boxes still come up when i log on. Not only that but now 2 new boxes comes up saying the exact same thing except instead of saying info32.exe it says msinfo.exe i just want to get rid of this thing if you know a way to help me please tell me?

Tried a virus scanner yet? You can try a free one from avast or grisoft.
A format and reinstall would probably fix it.

Manual removal:

1. Change the run=info32.exe to run= in the win.ini located under [windows]. Which can be done with any text editing program.
2. Reboot the computer or close the info32.exe.
3. Delete the info32.exe that is located in the Windows directory.
