MBAM Can't Remove Infected Userinit.exe

[SteveC42]

Hello, Malware team. Seems like I have a common, recent Registry problem. MBAM is unable to clean the userinit.exe file. Below is the MBAM report (note: full scan only detects these 2 files, so I posted the quick scan report) and the HiJack report. I was infected with the "Antivirus Protect 2009" back in late Feb, which I was able to clean, but this registry infection appeared this week. Any assistance would be appreciated.
