389765 2005-09-20 21:49:00 Was the spyware/adware you removed Blazefind?

The following taken from here

. winxptutor . com/wsaremove . htm" target="_blank">www . winxptutor . com

Unable to logon to Windows after removing BlazeFind using a spyware removal utility?

Logon - Logoff loop, also caused by BlazeFind

Another critical symptom caused by this malware:

This malware modifies the Userinit area in the registry (replacing the userinit . exe with wsaupdater . exe) and Ad-Aware (with a particular definition update) removes the wsaupdater . exe file from the system, thus causing the Logon - Logoff loop .

That is, when you login to Windows, the 'loading personal settings" verbose will appear, but suddenly it will logoff . This issue was documented clearly by Lavasoftusa in it's Lavahelp Knowledgebase .

Here is the solution to the logon - logoff issue in Windows XP .

Enter the Recovery Console

Boot the system using the Windows XP CD-ROM . In the first screen when the Setup begins, read the instructions press "R" (in the first screen) enter the Recovery Console . Type-in the built-in Administrator password to enter the Console . You'll see the prompt reading C:\Windows (Or any other drive-letter where you've installed XP)

Type the following command and press Enter .

CD SYSTEM32
(If that does not work, try CHDIR SYSTEM32)

COPY USERINIT . EXE WSAUPDATER . EXE

Quit Recovery Console by typing EXIT and restart Windows .

You'll be able to login successfully as you've created the wsaupdater . exe file (now, a copy of userinit . exe)

Now, change the USERINIT value in the registry (see Phase II in this page) and change it accordingly .

If it is, or was Blazefind you removed, there is a removal tool here

389770 2009-03-06 21:44:00 Hopefully this will help someone...

I didn't have a userinit.exe in my system32 directory at all after removing a virus. I just copied the userinit.exe file from another computer on the network to the disabled computer and now it logs on like it should. You could also add a hard drive to a working computer and do the copy that way if your system isn't on a network.

Hooray for this forum, it's 4:30 on Friday and I'm ready to go home. Now I can :banana:banana:banana
