Control panel error

Why do I get an error message " Missing file. Needs dopurst.exe to run this
type of file."?
I did a search for it and it doesn't exist on my computer.
Can any one help?
Thanks.

"dopurst.exe" is not a Windows file...its likely a spyware or virus file.

Link below does not work. I get this message:

Bizarre! This must have been copied from a Google Groups page.
In an OE status bar you can see hyphens in there which would explain
your symptom.

Here is the repaired link:

Beware copying links from Google Groups pages!
