This file is from malware. See this link:

Also: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cfgmgr52.dll&btnG=Google+Search

Waht happened was that you removed it but the reference for loading it
is still there. Click Start | Run | msconfig | Enter. On the startup
tab look for a reference to loading this module or anything you don't
recognize and uncheck it.

You'll need more than just Norton to remove malware. Run these programs
to check for spyware/malware. After installing update them, then boot
into safe mode and run them. You should update and run them weekly.
