Please Help!
When I try to run regedit & msconfig.exe it comes up and
then shuts down(disappear)on its own in a matter of just
seconds of time.
What's wrong? It wasn't always like that.
 
You have the Gaobot worm. time to get some antivirus protection on your
computer.

Greetings --

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html

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.
