    Angry winxp.exe

    Norton antivirus shows this file is infected with the beagle virus. Is it a system file? Can it be deleted? What do I do to clean it? Norton won't do it.

    I'd say virus. I have a new laptop with a clean install of XP Pro and can find no file called xp.exe.

    A quick search revealed this site which says it's a virus.

    Get rid of it. Check the sticky in the security forum here or follow the instructions on the site just linked.

    ...and welcome to Windrivers forums
