Hi,
Does anyone know why this file would appear on a Windows2000 system? From what I've
read it should only appear on 95, 98 and ME... would this cause any problems as Norton
freezes when scanning this file.

Sorry guys, the file is MSDOS.SYS. Was meaning to put this in the relevant forum,
but obviously I didnt.

MSDOS.SYS isn't actually required. It's there purely for compatibility.
If this file is giving you trouble, simply delete it and then re-create it. Its
contents and size aren't important.
