Hi
When looking at "msconfig" in startup i have the following entry :
HKCU\software\microsoft\windows NT\current version\windows:run
I believe this to be a virus, althogh my virus protection didnt pick anything up.
So my question is, is it a virus? and if so, how do I get rid of it?
Also, how did this "slip" through my PC Cillin 2002 ?

Well we need a lot more information than what you have given to tell you if you are infected or not. You can try some online scans though.
