Strange... so, is there any Config.Msi file in the root of C: drive? Or a folder of this name maybe?
Make sure you have all files displayed (even "system" and "hidden", if you use Windows Explorer).
Thanks.

 i found the folder in the system files. it was hidden. it has 8,824 objects in the folder. wonder why it dont show up every scan? also, when the error does show up, it says the date of my last scan  is 3/26/05.

I've said, since from begginning to unhide the files...
To unhide them, open any folder and go to Tools >folder options > View, then scroll down to where it says 'Hidden files and folders' and then check/tick the 'Show hidden files and folders'.

When the error does show up, it says the date of my last scan  is 3/26/05.
This is the 'last full scan' of the system and not a specific one (just some folders, etc.). Ask a full scan and the date will be updated.

So, C:\config.msi is actually a folder?
I would really like to know why it would crash there... does the error appear also when you scan the folder alone, either using Simple User Interface, or Explorer Extension ("rightclick menu")?
