- msconfig opens/shuts?

Hello
On a friend's PC when she goes run/msconfig, msconfig just opens and
shuts diown very quickly. Any ideas why?
Cheers
Geoff

Possible and very likely cause -

Run the CWShredder, http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe
If there is no "Cool Web Search" Spyware infestation, running the tool can
cause the machine no ill-effect.
All programs must be closed *prior* to running the tool.
