    I suggest you to killing is not recommended. Unless your system has a problem. This process does not always end. This is the XP boot from running the program. The dog is using the mount before the procedure to download the virus. All the best.

    Userinit.exe is a key process in Windows operating system. For managing the different boot sequence, for example, establish a network connection and start the Windows shell. Userinit.exe is also possible that hackers disguised Trojans. Userinit.exe normal after system startup program will automatically disappear. If the boot does not disappear after a very long time, there might be Trojan horses, when the virus destroyed or userinit.exe userinit.exe registry key is the virus changes, may appear normal windows system can not log on or enter the login user name, password system immediately after the write-off, once again try to sign, will once again canceled. All the best.

    You reboot into Safe Mode, then open the Registry Editor, Start - Run-REGEDIT
    F3 Search USERINIT. EXE you see is not the C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ userinit.exe. If not, change the path to re-post from the stubborn Trojan Removal Tool with 360 and 360 checks, no do not get at the problem of the estimate suggests that if further suggest that false positives are not prompted it wants to point the right upper. check and reply.
