hi there, one of my laptops has been infected with the
blaster worm, i have managed to remove it from my other
laptop but i cannot access msconfig on my laptop. i click
on run and type in msconfig it comes up for about a
second. i really don't know what the problem is. It's the
same thing with my the task manager everytime i press
crtl+alt+del it appears for a second and disappears. Can
someone tell me another way of accessing the systems
configuration utility? This is causing me enormous stress

Greetings --

This behavior is a common symptom of more than one virus/worm, the
three below being the most common:

W32.Klez


W32.Yaha


W32.Spybot.Worm
