mscnfig.exe file contains a virus

[Guest]

A virus has attacked my mscnfig.exe file and Norton has quarantined it. I am
trying to locate where the file came from so that I can delete the bad one
and install the new one, but I can not find it on either of my computers.
Norton says that it was located under COCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL
USERS\DOCUMENT\MSCNFIG.EXE. I can locate COCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL
USERS but there is no DOCUMENT fil;e next. Is it a hidden file or am I doing
something wrong. I did a search of all files on both computers and nothing.
What is or where is this file from? MSCNFIG.EXE

Windows uses MSCONFIG not MSCNFIG. If Norton Quarantined it, you will not
find it. Look in the Quarantined items in Norton.

You don't need MSCNFIG.EXE. Whereas, MSCONFIG.EXE is a system file located
in this folder:

%windir%\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\msconfig.exe
