Hi
After getting rid of the dreaded msblast worm.
I noticed that, msblast was still in the system configuration utility
start up tab.
And I dont want to accidently check the box in the future, so is there a way
of deleting this from the list.
Regards
PMc

Entries you have disabled with MSCONFIG.EXE are found in the Registry
keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\services
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
and you can safely delete them from here.

Load REGEDIT and do a Find for MSBLAST and delete the key when found.
