| 749475 | 2009-02-21 02:29:00 | Ok-Did managed to install trojan remover(virus had deleted it) Updated and scanned, and it thinks the userinit.exe file is infected so badly it must be replaced. What are your thoughts on this? I have a vista cd so I can replace it if needed.... |

| 749476 | 2009-02-21 02:55:00 | Does the link in the 2nd pic work? If it does do what it says there | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 749477 | 2009-02-21 03:05:00 | Nope, it doesn't its instructions for XP:( | Blam (54) | ||
| 749478 | 2009-02-21 03:13:00 | Its probably the same for Vista Or connect the hdd to another system as slave if its ide Put the Vista cd in and extract it like what it says on that link Just extract it in a different folder, then copy it to the vista PC Or use the sfc comand |

| 749480 | 2009-02-21 03:20:00 | OH CRAP! that one:eek: if the Userinit is infected you have to make a new account Before you wipe that - I personally have found once thats infected its touch and go as to wheather the PC ends up being reinstalled - Two things you can try - boot from the DVD run restore (as long as its turned on) put back the infected userinit. Other wise have a look at This article (www.vistax64.com) then This article (www.vistax64.com) if you get it going again - and replace the userinit. Personally ( and this is only me) I would say to your friend, the system is to badly damaged - save the data- wipe it - reinstall. Twice I have managed to repair the userinit - twice its corrupted within 2-3 days and had to start again. |

| 749481 | 2009-02-21 23:27:00 | I've backed up all his data, and I've decided if its can't be fixed today, it'll be a repair install. Its worse now-can't even boot into safe mode, freezes at crcdisk.sys Anything else I can do today? |
