Ok so heres my problem: (Using XP laptop) (also zonealarm firewall) I have scanned my computer using both CLAMWIN and AVG. Both of them delete/quarrentine - MSCONFIG, zclient(zonealarm), and even clamwin.exe itself. So it moved those files from its original place, and now I cannot - start < run < msconfig. (also messes up my firewall) I have researched and found where to place MSCONFIG, (C:\WINNT\servicepackfiles\i386 - and a backup located C:\WINNT\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries) BUT on a laptop the folder WINNT does not exist, so where is MSCONFIG defaults location go on a XP laptop? ALSO how can I get these anti-virus programs to STOP deleting MSCONFIG, and my firewall, and clamwin itself?! If someone could help me I would be forever grateful. Thank you for your time.
Try using system restore. Go back to before you installed all these programs. Follow this path: Start\all programs\accessories\system tools\system restore.

I did system restore, then re-downloaded the programs, then ran the scan and same problem. thanks for responding though
