What does "C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com" mean?

Question

So I'm not the most computer savvy guy there is and the IT guy at work recommended I download spybot as an antispyware.  So I do and I run it and I delete all the things it told me to and now when I start up my system I get a black window with this printed at the top that alternates (very fast) with another that is an identical script except the last is cmd.exe.  The two windows keep popping up continuously for a few minutes and then stop on their own.  What is this and how do I get rid of it.  My model is older.  HP pentium 4 and I have XP.  Thanks

Good-luck.

You need to repair your XP installation and get back this system file, otherwise this will continue to happen, this happened to me with a different but still fundamental file. To repair just pop the installation CD into your CD-ROM slot or better and hit r when prompted to. Have Fun!
