MSCONFIG will not run

Thanks,
How can I restore MSCONFIG,REGEDIT and TASKBAR...I have
my Windows XP Disk available...When I ran Norton on it it
did say I had the w32.spybot.worm so I deleted it like
suggested, but that did not work...I no longer have
norton on it nor am I hooked up to the internet, as It is
my daughters computer I am trying to fix...I cannot find
a removal tool for the worm either.

any additional ideas?

Thanks,
twosox

I am having the same problem. Msconfig flashes but does
not open. can anyone help

Hi Mary,
This is caused by viruses. One sure way to run MSCONFIG is to copy msconfig.exe to another filename, say msc.exe and run it. Try this tool from Doug Knox, creates copies of MSCONFIG, TASKMGR.EXE AND REGEDIT.
Emergency Msconfig, Regedit, Task Manager http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_emerutils.htm

Also, update your anti-virus scanner and run a full system scan. The following viruses terminate any of the following processes: REGEDIT.EXE and TASKMGR.EXE

W32.HLLW.Kefy:

W32.HLLW.Cydog@mm:

Backdoor.IRC.Yoink.A:

W32.Kwbot.R.Worm:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...ot.r.worm.html

[The following viruses deletes Regedit.exe, Regedt32.exe, Msconfig.exe, Taskmgr.exe]

W32.Petch.B:

W32.HLLW.Maax.B@mm:

W32.spybot worm disables NAV, Msconfig, Regedit and Task Manager:
