msconfig will not open

[George Kourieh]

I am trying to run "msconfig" but it is not popping up.
It will show up and instantly exit. I did the usual
run, "msconfig", ok, but nothing is happening. Can
anyone help me figure out how to get msconfig to open?
Thank you

Frequently posted info...

The type of behavior you describe, which also often applies to
Taskmgr.exe and Regedit.exe, is typical behavior of more than one
virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha

W32.Spybot.Worm

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the
Spybot mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose
definitions aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free
on-line scanners to double-check your system.
