Try this, it worked for me,

here is the link to down load the program- http://www.superantispyware.com/superant…



ITS FREE TOO!



after you download it,restart your system, then press f8 repeatedly until the Advanced Menu Options Screen shows up,

then go down to start Windows in safe mode and click enter,

after that when your at your desktop screen, run the program, a full system scan, the time will vary depending on how many files you have, when it is over it will tell you if you had any viruses, it will ask you if you want to delete them, click yes, after its done restart your computer. I hope this helps!!





Your system 32 is just your Windows operating system, there is a 64 bit and a 32 bit you have the 32 bit ,. try the above it will get rid of the virus(s) as long as you follow the steps above

Don't delete System 32.It's the folder with all the stuff you need to keep your computer running...

Delete it=Your computer dies.

Get Avast.It's an awesome Anti virus.And go to the settings or some where there and make it scan at the boot time.Cos the viruses are not running then.Don't delete System 32.You can actually know by the name "System".So it's a system folder.

system 32 is a 32 bit software directory that you NEED to keep.



Windows runs 32 bit or 64 bit.



Our Vista is 64 bit.



The others are 32 bit.



Click on f1 and bring up your help files. Go to www.msn.com and read the tutorials.



DO NOT EVER delete system files! Windows needs them.

System32 is your main operating files. Deleting it would be the same as smashing your hard drive to bits with a hammer.

He's trying to get you to kill your laptop, so it is just as well you can't find it. Deleting it will make Windows nonfunctional.

Get some virus protection and stop talking to that jerk.
