re: system32.exe cannot be found Thursday, July 24, 2003 at 12:18 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JC (1 messages posted) I recently had some virus troubles, and I'm sure this is what caused the system32.exe issue, but the only place it shows up in my registry is my google explorer bar search history - when I searched and found this page :) When i boot up it also says it can't find "raymond" as specified in the registry, but searching for it in my regedit brought up no results. What gives? Any help would be greatly appreciated :) On Wednesday, July 9, 2003 at 11:23 pm, Jason wrote: >I had the same problem in windows XP due to the virus "backdoor.ssbot" some kind >of irc virus anyway after deleting the file it came up with the error message that >it could not find the syxtem32.exe file.
