That behavior from MSCONFIG in particular is a symptom of an
infestation by one of several different viruses/trojans.

Make certain your antivirus software is completely up to date, with
the virus definitions not less than a week old, and do a complete
virus scan of your hard drive. Then get a "second opinion" by doing a
free online virus scan at one of the following sites:
