   We’ve all been getting e-mails about System32 this week and there seems to be some confusion, so let’s try to clear this up. Basically, System32 is a directory that is required on any Microsoft Windows system. So, if you use Windows, you’ve got to have System32 working in order for your computer to run properly.

   System32 is usually located in the C: drive under C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Winnt\system32. Several of the Windows system files that you use to run your computer are stored in the System32 directory, which is why several of the errors you receive may be led by System32.

   The System32 directory won’t usually cause any problems by itself, so if you are receiving an error with a System32 file, you need to search for that file to resolve the problem. Go to Start, Search and then choose All files and folders to search for the file that is giving you trouble.

   System32 loads all device driver and software that boots with the system.

   This usually indicates that a spyware scanner removed a infested file from the system32 directory but did not remove the entry that caused it to be called during start up. You need to use a startup manager or hijackthis! to remove the startup entry. I would suggest the startup manager included in the advanced tools bundled with the Spybot Search and Destroy program. Only use Hijackthis! if you know exactly what you are removing or you may really screw up your system.

   system 32 is a folder in windows that contains drivers
   also most of the viruses are found there
   try scanning with another antivirus…or just reinstall windows..that will definitely solve the problem
