This is from http://forums.spywareinfo.com:

"I had a similar problem with msconfig and regedit. I can only run them in
safe mode. Today I downloaded and ran the latest copy of stinger from the
McAfee site. It found/repaired all of my files that were infected with the
W32/Pate.b virus. Both msconfig and regedit are now running ok. So give it
a try."
