Have you gone to services and check to see if there was a description attached to this service? - in services the service name could be something like "My Service" so you won't necessarily see cfig50wnt as the service name. You could also go into the registry (HKLM/System/ CurrentControlSet/Services) and do a search from that point on to see what the service freindly name is and any description of it. I did find 1 occurrance of this being reported as a virus/trojan. but the person reporting knew nothing (other that it's name being cfig50wnt.sys in Windows\System32) so I do not know whether it truly is or not. Also, since what you are reporting always occurs at the same time it is must be some other program causing the service to start. That other program could also be started by windows scheduler.
