msconfig window disappears

[Bonnie]

I just posted a message "Regedit Window Disappears", and
I had forgotten that the msconfig window disappears a
couple of seconds after I have brought it up. This was
not always this way, but has been for the last couple
months. Obviously these two problems are related. I
have had a virus, but all seems to be cleared up except
this. Any help is really appreciated.

Email follows. Sorry to give bogus email but had very
bad experience in the past. Thanks. Bonnie

You are still infected--run an updated virus scanner.

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.
