Then there is something wrong with your computer!
Go into my computer,
Double click the C: drive
Double click the windows folder (click show files if you get a message about them being hidden)
Double click the system32 folder
Look through the files for getmac.exe
Is it there?

OK, it's not very big, so it should be a quick download

Sounds like you have a virus.
Try booting to safe mode.
Start, run, type in
MSConfig
Click OK
On the boot.ini tab, check the box safe boot box and the network button to the right of it. Restart your computer, it will go straight into safe mode. Try running getmac again.
If that doesn't work, then you may have to go into my computer, on the top bar select tools then folder options. On the view tab, click the round button to show hidden files and folders and uncheck hide protected operating system files. Say yes to the warning. Now try.

I doubt it's a bug, I run avg, spybot, routinely update, and recall since I got the computer there's always been an boot.ini error msg on startup, but all works fine.
