Re: System\Files32.VXD. I do not find this file anywhere in my system (Dimension XPS T450/Win982nd), nor was I able to locate any reference to it in MS Knowledge Base, excepting one obscure reference to Mac systems. This does not mean that I would recommend deleting it, particularly if you don't know what it is, or what it does.

You should have received a Win98 2nd Ed. CD with your system. If you did not, I would suggest contacting Customer Service at the phone number listed on your invoice, or by posting in the Customer Service-General conference here at DellT@lk.

For future reference, one post per question is more than sufficient. If YOU see it in the listing after you post, trust me...so does everyone else, and someone will get to you at their earliest convenience, if they are in a position to address your concern.

Thanks for your input. I only meant to ask the question once, but when I was going to log off and I had seen that nobody had responded yet, I wanted to be emailed when a response was given. That is why there are (2) questions. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hi, This is the Pretty Park virus. If you have a virus scanner make sure it is updated and run it. This virus is classified as a "worm" and infects your system when you try to open the executable attachment. It inserts a file named "Files32.VDX" into the Windows\System directory and modifies the Registry.
