You're infected by Brontok virus. Please refer to this article on how to clean brontok virus.

hey thanks!!
i already removed that brontok virus
but now i cant open the MSconfig...
is that a virus again??
what is your suggestion?

[n-GenX08]

the computer says
windows cannot find msconfig...blah..blah..blah..

[Raymond]

Check whether there's msconfig.exe in C:\WINDOWS\pchealth\helpctr\binaries

If it's there, go to Start -> Run -> type regedit

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE

See if the REG_SZ is pointing to your msconfig.exe

ok
ill try that..
what if there's none?

[Raymond]

Then you can extract a copy of MSCONFIG.EXE from your Windows XP CD.

To extract: Open a command prompt window. Insert your XP CD into the drive
and enter the following command:

EXPAND -R X:\I386\MSCONFIG.EX_ Z:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\BINARIES
This will extract a new copy of the MSCONFIG.EXE from the CD.

You have to replace the X: with your CD drive and Z with your hard disk drive that contains windows.
