When i try running msconfig...or hitting alt ctrl del,
the window opens for a second and closes right away. How
can this be fixed? Ty
 
Hi Alex,

You are probably infected with a virus, and will need to do a full system
scan and probably some work to clean it up. In the meantime, to access those
functions start/run "cmd", then run this lines:

copy %windir%\system32\taskmgr.exe %windir%\system32\taskmgr1.exe

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

Then try running taskmgr1.exe and msconfig.com

This behavior is a common symptom of more than one virus/worm, the
