Windows XP update WOW32.DLL CRC error

Hi,

Every times I got an error like:

wow32.dll crc error

And while I use the pc I receive the following error:

System Allert:

Stop! Immediate Attention Required

Windows has found Critical System Errors.

Download registry cleaner from: www.clean32.com

failure to act now may lead to data loss and corruption!

At a guess, me thinks you have an infection of spyware/malware etc

Hi TaurArian,
thank you for your support.

Just another question, how can I have a malware if I did formatted my
personal computer
before the installation? :-\

Connecting to the internet, opening web pages etc etc
