I never said any such thing.
It may be helpful for his peace of mind to know that he is not dealing with an actual
infection, only a fairly trivial annoyance.
It is clear that, although he cannot as yet identify how to stop the system
from trying to run the program in question, the program itself has already been deleted.
He may not need a malware forum. He does, however, need to know that he is searching
in his computer for the WRONG thing. It may in fact assist him to be made aware of
this!
He should not bother searching for the file SYSTEM.EXE as it no longer exists, so
obviously he won't find it.
If he searched the registry for instances of "SYSTEM" instead, he might find the
run command he is looking for. Searching for "SYSTEM.EXE" has failed since that file
has already been deleted.
