Well . . . . I feel kinda stupid . . LOL!
I see that (and should've seen in the first HJT) you have "iolo technologies' System Mechanic Professional 7"installed.
I would be willing to bet that its "System Guard" feature is what is preventing you from running msconfig......
Here we had ComboFix run into trouble with it - it was practically waving its arms and shooting up flares - and I completely missed it. I'm definitely getting too old for this ****!
-- I would also add that msconfig is a diagnostic tool and not a startup manager. There are better ways to deal with unwanted startups.
-- I don't see any malware in your logs. Though, I would suggest uninstalling the below in Add/Remove programs:
"J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6"
"Java(TM) 6 Update 2"
"Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1"
"Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6"
Then, update your Java at http://www.java.com/en/
Yo do need to remove all older versions. This will help keep baddies such as Vundo at bay....
Let us know if System Mechanic was the culprit.
Best
