[FP on msconfig.exe]

Update. I ran fc and the file is identical to the one in the normal place (...pchealth\helpctr\binaries). I think it must have been flagged based on its location. Now if only I knew how a copy got put in the root directory. Probably I did it myself but when or why I have no recollection.

To the Malwarebytes wizards, sorry I wasted your time. Feel free to close this topic.

[FP on msconfig.exe]

Hard to believe. I downloaded MBAM, installed, updated, and ran a quick scan. It found four files. I decided to remove/quarantine all, but it turned out three of them could not be quarantined. They were deleted on reboot. The fourth was msconfig.exe. I restored it from quarantine and submitted it to Jotti -- it came out clean. Then ran a quick scan in developer mode. Here's the log of that scan:
