To completely rid my system of this problem I did the following: To temporarily stop the popups, open the Processes tab in the Windows Task Manager and click on Userinit.exe and then click the End Process button. Userinit.exe is a valid Windows program found in \windows\system32. The problem is that the spyware had changed my valid Windows program to a spyware program. To fix this copy the file userinit.exe from \windows\servicepackfiles\i386 to \windows\system32 System: Windows XP

My Norton 360 says i have nothing wrong with the laptop but MS Antispyware 2009 alerts keep popping up. Could anyone help please? Should i worry even with Norton on? Thanks Eddy, anyone…

From the 140 hits during the search they are easy to recognize by the date they were made/changed. This is the date the infection happened. The 2 prefetch maps were easy to delete, but the application map was a bit tricky.It refused to be deleted because it was active, so I had to shut down the application with the task manager first, and then was able to delete it. Now my computer is running like a beauty again. Hope this is of some interest. Happy to inform you that I have deleted the 3 maps I talked about.
