BHO = browser helper object. Could be a plug-in, ActiveX object or malware. Look in Internet Options > Programs > Add-Ons. That's where spyware hides.

MSCONFIG nags on exit and nags again on restart. Do I really have to remind you of that? Have you forgotten?

Hmmm, msconfig has never nagged me. Color me wrong BPB and give me something to turn off (non fatal) in msconfig and I'll try it. Always open to learning something new
