quarantine the file,that should be fine the msconfig32 is NOT a windows file, windows
dropped the file called msconfig in win2k but you can see it in XP but not as msconfig32
or32x.
But if you don't feel confident to run HijackThis and edit the reg. file don't that's
a good view point.
Many machines will crash because the reg.files runs the machine and you have a error
it will lock it up at boot.
I would tell you to back the reg file b/4 you try it but you don't want to if you
have the virus call still in the reg.file.
