    missing file

    Hi! After removing some spyware from my backup computer, I get this message after logging on: Cannot find c:\windows\system32\tools\delfolders.exe. If i click ok, I can still get to my desktop, so this is more of a annoyance than a big problem. I checked my other computer to see if I could just copy & paste the file in, but it is nowhere to be found. So I think it has something to do with the malware that I removed. Any suggestions? The specs of the computer in question are:
    AMD Sempron 1.66Ghz
    384MB DDR PC 2700
    40GB Western Digital HDD
    52x CD-ROM
    eVGA Ge Force4 MX4000 64MBDDR
    integrated Realtek AC'97 audio
    cable internet via a wireless LAN
    windows xp pro/sp 2

    I am using AVG anti virus, Ad-Aware SE personal, Spybot S&D; and M$ Anti-Spyware Beta 1
    My Network:
    -Workstation1: AMD64 3400+; 1gb RAM; 360GB Hdd space; GeForce FX5500; SB Live! 24-bit audio;WinXP Pro SP2
    -Workstation2: PentiumIII 800 Coppermine; 384MB RAM; 36 & 9gb Ultra 160 HDD's; Matrox G400 Dual Head; Yamaha DS1 audio; Win2k Pro SP4
    -Workstation3: PentiumIII 800 Coppermine; 384MB RAM; 80GB HDD; GeForce MX4000; SB Live! Basic audio; Win2k Pro SP4
    -Laptop: Pentium M 1.66GHz; 512MB RAM; 27GB HDD;

    Start->Run->type MSCONFIG and look in the startup tab for any references to this file.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    Check out the following link from a 2-yr-old Microsoft forum.

    If you still have your mobo CD, you should be all set.
