Default malfunctioning M.S. file

I get the message that Windows\system32 is disabled. I either have something
set incorrectly or a problem file --help??

That can't be the exact text of the error message. System32 is a directory,
without which Windows itself would not function. Please post again after
looking at some of these links to see what details you need to include so
we can help you:

Could also be the Mari trojan, it executes a system32.exe file in the
C:\Windows folder.
