hello how is everyone today ? I am on windows 2000 pro.

PROBLEM:
1.) downloaded exe file off p2p program and thought it was something it wasn't. upon executing the file i launched 3 worm viruses into my system. Alcan.A, Gaobot Worm, & Mugly.

RESOLUTION:
1.) i used xoft anti-spy to clean out the virii code. i am pretty sure that i have cleaned the virus 100% with 1 exception.

REMAINING PROBLEM:
1.) my windows system32 folder does not appear on the list when i go to windows directory unless i manually type in the directory c:\windows\system32

ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION:
1.) Went into folder options and did the obvious show hidden files and do not hide system files with a clean reboot, but that did not work.
2.) Ran a dos attrib scan for the windows directory and discovered that system32 was not listed.
3.) Ran a disk fixer scan with my fix-it utilites program and also performed a CHKDSK scan upon reboot. some errors were fixed and some files were restored, but still the system32 folder does not display when i open my windows folder.

open to suggestions please...
