msconfig32x.exe Monday, September 26, 2005 at 9:35 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by John (4 messages posted) Hi, having just done a clean reinstal of Win 2000 due to virus damage, I let the file msconfig32x.exe (note the 'x' after 32) in my C:\WINNT\system32 folder through my AVG antivirus and let it perform an action online, assuming it was something to do with the browser upgrade to IE5.5 I'd just installed. But then when I signed back in, the connection icon shows I'm apparently downloading something all the time, whether a browser window is open or not. To be on the safe side I managed to stop unlisted programs from connecting via the AVG control centre, which solves the problem to a certain extent, but is this a real system file or virus? AVG sees nothing suspicious in it, and the virus database is up to date. What worries me is I can't find any reference to a file of that name, with the 'x' suffix, in microsoft.com or even google! Any help would be appreciated, thanks - John.
