regedit, msconfig,open for .5 seconds and close

[Guest]

Hi I am experiencing a problem where I cannot run regedit or msconfig
reliably. BitAdvantage says I have a suspected virus in c:\recycler\ ie.
Suspect:Behaves like:Win32.AV-Killer. How do I get rid of it? BitAdvantage
shows it as a warning only. I have run SFC /scannow fixed the registry and I
am spyware free so I am hoping the suspected virus is the answer.

Empty your Recycle Bin.

Have your Antivirus software DELETE whatever is in c:\recycler

Hope this helps. Let us know.
