Yesterday Zone Alarm popped up and asked if I wanted to allow msconfig32 to act as a server. At the same time, Adaware's Ad Watch popped up and said that there was an attempt to add a registry value. Root: Hkey Current User Key: Software/Microsoft/Windows/Version/Run Once Value: MSConfig New Data: MSConfig32.exe First time this has ever happened. I kept telling Zone Alarm NO and Ad Watch to Block. Checked add/remove programs for any spyware that might have snuck in. I had just run Spybot and Adware and rebooted. Finally gave in and allowed ZA and Ad Watch to accept it. I've done a google group search for ~Zone Alarm msconfig32.exe server~ and other combinations and came up with nothing. Tried to check msconfig for something unusual in the startup tab and I can't access msconfig :o So, I did a ctrl/alt/del to look at programs in the taskmanager. Taskmanager blinks on and then disappears instantly. I could (hopefully) do a system restore but I'd like to know what caused this and what I can do to fix it. Thanks for any help. Oh and no, I haven't recently installed any new software or updated any programs. NAV was updated July 30. Monica
