Start here:



Be sure the referenced file really does not exist in system32.



Using regedit, navigate to:



HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon



On the right side look for Shell which should have value of just:



explorer.exe



Delete anything after explorer.exe if there is anything.



Perform some scans for malicious software, then fix any remaining

issues:



Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware

detection programs:



Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/

SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/



They can be uninstalled later if desired.



Under that same key look for Userinit which should have value of just:



C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,



Do not delete the comma, but delete everything after it (your issue

most likely)

Since I have found the referenced file in the system32 folder, I have

not proceeded with your suggestion. Now how to go about it?



Thank you for your valuable time.

My post is a generic one that will apply to most people most of the

time.



That script is a generic one found in many places on the Internet as

the "fix all your problems" script.



You should stick with MBAM and SAS for general scanning.



If the script file does not exist on your system, it was removed by a

scanning program or by hand. All of the things you have been trying

are confusing and so far are not working. The location of the problem

is not something that will reveal itself in msconfig or any of the

other methods suggested for things to try.



You need things to do and you need to stop trying things that don't

work if you want to fix this!



Check in Task Manager and if wscript.exe is running, terminate it and

remove the mentioned.vbs file, then fix the registry Userinit section

as indicated.



The entry in the registry (most likely Userinit) is still broken, so

you need to fix that either by hand, or you can fix it using

HijackThis and it will find and fix it for you. If you run

HijackThis, it will report a single F2 item and there should not be an

F2 item on most systems and you can let HijackThis fix it for you. It

will look like this (which is wrong).



F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Userinit.exe, c:

\windows\system32\wscript.exe c:\windows\system32\killvirus.vbs



Get the 2.0.2 version of HijackThis (not the Beta) here:



http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/



If you are worrried about your registry, back it up first with this

popular free tool:



http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/



The other possibility is that the reference is in the autorun.inf file

for your device - you can check the content of your autorun.inf file

for the device that is complaining and post the contents here if you

can't figure it out.

Followed your advice and fixed the problem successfully.



Here is what I did:

1. Deleted killvirus.vbs in system32.

2. In the Registry, Userinit had the value of:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, C:\WINDOWS\system32\wscript.exe

C:\WINDOWS\system32\killvirus.vbs.

Deleted everything after userinit.exe, as you advised.



In the process you introduced some very useful utilities to me. Thank

you so much for everything.

Of course, and thank goodness.



Everything makes perfect sense when things are understood!



I would recommend this ASAP:



Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware

detection programs:



Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/

SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/



They can be uninstalled later if desired.
