CWShredder found "CWS.Msconfig" as being Malware.

Did search on RegEdit and found one entry which I deleted in left column
of regedit.

Ran CWShredder again and it still shows to be on my computer.

How do I remove CWS.Msconfig, and how can I block it in the future?

Thanks

Apparently CWShredder isn't doing the job. FWIW, I haven't used
CWShredder as a removal tool for a very long time. Go through the
malware removal steps here, making sure you do the preparatory work:

Msconfig may be malware, however I have noticed that when I use msconfig and
then do a malware scan it will showup as an infection but it really isn't.
Did you use msconfig recently?

Ran CWShredder again and got rid of it.
