    ====================================
    Windows 2000 Professional Ver 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4
    ====================================

    Yesterday I have deleted Trojan horse Downloader.Agent.AS using AVG 6.0.
    Today I have got the following error message via Message Box.

    ====================================
    16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS
    and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
    ------------------------------------------------------------


    What should I do?

    Thanks.
