msblast and msconfig35

[Joe]

Hello, I received a warning from my firewall on Friday
the 8th that msconfig35.exe was trying to connect to the
internet, I blocked it. On Monday night, the 11th I got
the same message with msblast. I know about the msblast
and already downloaded the patch. Is the msconfig35
related to the msblast? It is a hidden file and, just
like msblast, cannot be deleted. Also, around the same
time, I started having trouble initializing a voice
conversation on MSN Messenger. Could this also be a
related problem? Thank you for any help.

i would think "msconfig35.exe" is a virus. that is not part of Windows. i
would try deleting the file and also running another virus scan.
