Criticism of the system program appears as a Trojan horse.

I was browsing the internet as I usually do when I received an error message saying "Explorer has stopped working".
Knowing that shouldn't happen anywhere, I did a scan of the computer and the results came as soon as a file called "wininit.exe" had a Trojan horse in or on it. I tried to remove it but could not so I looked to see if the file itself was the problem. Discovered critical file system (or that was what I was told) and am looking for a way to fix emergency. Is there something that can be done?

Be careful. Completely valid system files are sometimes identified as
malware. They are called "false positives" you were wise to check further.
I advise to use another parser. Here's one that can get
on the web...

Alternatively, I would say Malwarebyte Anti-malware (free download)
 
You can also download your wininit.exe for instant assessment here:

  • LG supermulti dvd burner is not detected by the system.

    I wanted to install ATI RADEON HD 4350 and so I uninstalled the driver Intel (r) GMA. I installed the card on the motherboard and I have installed the driver provided by the manufacturer using their CD and I also did other necessary things. Everything worked perfectly. Then in the driver user interface, I saw two monitors. I selected one of them, without any judgement and turns off the computer. Later, when I put it on I saw there was not on my screen and indicator showed natural signal, which was red. So I uninstalled the card and connect the monitor to the onboard connector cable.

    Sometimes the HDD and LG supermulti dvd burner got detected (both or one of them) and sometimes they were not. When they were done detected the speed and performance of the machine was very poor. Monitor has also not getting detected in Device Manager.Then I managed to uninstall the video adapter driver and is also further things to slove the problem:

    Checking the SATA connections (my HDD is on the SATA1 and LG supermulti dvd burner is SATA 2), checking the other connections, Clearing RTC RAM etc, but nothing gave me a permanent solution.

    Then I did a BIOS update and I did an upgrade to Windows XP SP3, stay inside Windows and I also reinstalled driver Intel (r) GMA (new version).

    Now the problem is the drive is detected but supermulti LG dvd writer is not. But now the monitor is in my device manager and performance is good. Now what should I do to the system so that it could detect LG supermulti dvd burner?

    Two other points are:

    1. when I was using the video card my system was attacked by a Trojan horse, but now it's OK after running a full scan using KIS2011 and take necessary measures.

    2 is powered for the LG supermulti dvd burner because it is to open when I am pressing the button.

    System Specs:

    OS: Win XP SP3 x 32

    MB:Asus P5QPL-AM (it has integrated video card)

    The problem has been resolved by running a scan for hardware changes in Device Manager. I did it before but this time it worked.

  • Problems when I want to update my complete system Mavericks using a USB key with the installation program.

    I want to "Refresh" my Mavericks home cleaning system and I still have a USB key with the complete installation program.

    With this USB key, I installed successfully already before Mavericks. Now, I want to repeat the installation by booting from USB key. But when the installation starts early an alert appears, said something like "... the verification failed - something is changed on the volume...". "and the cant of the installation continues.

    I've archived the original "OS X Mavericks installieren.app" from the app store and I have properly prepared another USB key using the terminal app, referencing the original installer, but I still get this alert when I try to install with this new USB.

    It is necessary for me to work with the Mavericks, because it's the latest version of the system on which I can run Adobe Creative Suite CS6 correctly. With the later versions of OS X, I get problems on my Mac Pro (end of 2008).

    I wonder what could happen with my first USB data, as I have already installed Mavericks successfully with it under the same conditions and after that he never touched the stick again so far. What can I do? What is the reason for this? Y at - there a site where I can get help or advice to solve the problem or if necessary can I re-download an Installer 'fresh '?

  • How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.
