cluberti Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Note you're running CMD.COM, not CMD.EXE - XP doesn't contain a CMD.COM file, so I don't know what's going on there. I'd delete that file, because cmd should run cmd.exe, not cmd.com.
Scubar Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 cmd.com is usually crated by a few different type of spywares.you will definatley want to run a few antispyware programs aswell as get an online virus check from trendmicro.
LLXX Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Delete CMD.COM. It's an invalid file (from the error message, it seems to be attempting to execute the string "c:\win"(dows) as instructions.)
bledd Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 try pasting this file into C:\Windows\System32 folder..http://bleddyn.co.uk/files/cmd.exe
