In any Windows system after Windows 3, you've removed the basic system dll's and the system will utterly fail either shortly after that or it will not start again at all. That folder is one of the most dangerous things to mess with in Windows.

How can you remove virus but your antivirus not detect?

You have to look for it, any files that look like they shouldn't belong you might want to delete.

Check your Temp folder (Start> Run > %temp%), sometimes a virus can be sitting there in plain sight. Try not to delete the System32 folder though ;).
