at start-up and when I try to access the cd rom I get the above message in
blue followed by: Windows\system32\autoexec.NT. The system file is not
suitabe for running MS-Dos and microsoft windows applications. Chose "Close"
to terminate the application. What is it? Where did it come from? and how do
I get rid of it?

Seems to be an epidemic lately....

This can be caused by a trojan.

Get rid of the trojan.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Copy the autoexec.nt file from C:\Windows\Repair to C:\Windows\System32.
And set Attributes for autoexec.nt to Read-only.

Read-only
[[Specifies whether this file is read-only, which means that it cannot be
changed or accidentally deleted.]]

1. Right click the file.
2. Properties.
3. Select: ? Read-only.
4. Click: Apply.
5. Click: OK.
