Default MSCONFIG

I am unable to open the MSCONFIG from the RUN command box.
Sometimes, it will open for a couple of seconds then
close. I am trying to take a look at the Start Up Tab.
Help!

That may be a sign of an infection with a trojan or virus -
Task Manager, MSCONFIG, or REGEDIT disappears while opening:
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/ToolsQuit.htm :


The following viruses terminate REGEDIT.EXE and TASKMGR.EXE processes:

W32.HLLW.Kefy

W32.HLLW.Cydog @ mm

Backdoor.IRC.Yoink.A

W32.Kwbot.R.Worm

W32.spybot worm disables NAV, Msconfig, Regedit and Task Manager:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...ybot.worm.html
The same symptom is caused due to Klez, Yaha Viruses.

The following viruses deletes Regedit.exe, Regedt32.exe, Msconfig.exe, Taskmgr.exe

W32.Petch.B:

Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.
