Msconfig has gone?!

[tres]

Went to look at what startup processes i have, as computer was starting up qutie slow (1min after desktop before you could use it)

start..

run..

msconfig..


can't find it?

no luck with searching either!

what have i done? no virus as far as i can tell

How have you checked for a virus, because that sounds like one to me. Msconfig is a popular target for obvious reasons.

plus there's tons of things it misses

disable system restore
remove whatever av you've got now

run..

ccleaner slim
nod32 av trial
spybot s&d
adaware
avg antispyware (remove this after)

put firefox on with adblock plus and Easylist subscription (do this on your pc too)

hijackthis will tell you what's running at startup

Regedit then look in:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Most stuff goes in there so it's a good place to start looking.
