  1. I just ran across these directions as an alternative for anyone who may not be able to remove their hard dirve and hook it up externally. The directions are for a similar virus that did the same thing. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/28295-45...ecovery-console
  2. Loading the registry hive from the drive did the trick. I also copied the file to the C:\windows folder just in case. THANKS
  3. yes. I also tried replacing it with a copy from another XP machine but it continued doing the same thing.
  4. The userinit that was detect in the c:\Windows folder is no longer there. So appears to have been successfully deleted.

  6. First time user of MBAM software, appears to be great product. One problem: I have an XP laptop that had the userinit.exe file hijacked by what Mcafee called new malware.j but it was unable to clean it. I loaded MBAM and it detected but said it would have to delete it during the next reboot. When I rebooted the computer the I get the XP login screen after clicking Ctrl-Alt-Del, put in the password and Windows starts to load for about 1 second then immediate logs off and goes back to the Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to login screen. If needed I'm able to pull the hard drive out and hook it up to another computer via a USB connector. Thanks for any and all assistance
