userinit.exe infected

nikao · 2010-07-17T14:12:03+00:00

when I boot my PC, AVG is prompting me with a message that userinit.exe is infected. I do get a checkbox that says 'remove as power user' (or something similar), but I only have the option to click 'Ignore'. After a while I'll get a windows error message stating that my PC will reboot in a few secs. I can override that using the command prompt with 'shutdown -a', but than the pc seems to be bugged especially Flash. I have no clue how to remove the threat...
