for thus who did not solve the problems, even with this, like me; i just modified the string C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe for only: userinit.exe , that’s solved my problem.

On my system, my userinit was actually missing. I added with the C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe and it solve my problem too.

Thanks for the post!

After affected by the virus i did not have access to any of these computer by remote login to modify regedit.

How I fixed the login?

I have a ERD COMMANDER cd that allows any windows administration password to modify. Works like a magic.

I reboot all the 3 xp computer one by one with the cd. It automatically goes to a special xp interface and allow me to go the regedit location and modify the specified path.

This looks like the solution I need for the problem caused by the Internet Security 2010 virus!

I was able to get into the registry editor for the infected computer over the network, but when I try to open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE it tells me that I do not have permission. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong here?

Hello,

Thanks for this post, it worked like a charm. I did not know you could connect to registry through network.

Previously I tried some other solution (trying to copy winlogon to another fileame which was supposively targeted by registry after spyware) without success.

Anyway thanks again, I was really afraid I would end up using the XP cd repair option.

Hi, It got into this problem because of a spyware called Internet Security 2010. I had very difficult time to get to the registry to do the change. Once I had access to registry, i changed it easily. One more observation: In the same Winlogon key, another entry called “Shell” was also altered i.e it got updated to a value as “explorer.exe logon.exe” which should be just “explorer.exe”.

One quick question, how can we read/modify registry when we are not able to login to machine. i.e anyway to directly read the registry values by connectiong HDD to another machine?

Thanks,
Praveen

How do you connect the infected computer to a network if you can’t log on to it?
