>I Logon & Get LoGGed OFF<

[Guest CmosDriver]

I have run into the ExAcT same problem w/2 machines recently after cleaning

malware off of them. BOTH were totally loaded with malware, trojans and

SypCraP. After scanning and deleting a friend's computer with Adaware, I then

scanned it w/Spybot. It also found a bunch of mess and of course, wasn't able

to delete everything until rebooting. After restarting the Dell (behemoth)

Demension 4500, I attempted to log into the same account that I used before

restarting. - - - - Once i clicked onto the account, it >briefly< attempted

to login and then after about 2-3 seconds... it was logging me >OFF<. I

didn't even get to see the desktop it happened so fast. I tried all 5

accounts and got the same

results everytime. Same thing happened in "safe mode" and "last known good".

- - - -

I have NeVeR run across this before, this is a new one to me. NOW... Just a

few days later, I have run into the exact same thing. It happens to be a Dell

Dimension 3000. The same thing occured after cleaning it with Registry

Booster and Registry Mechanic. Booster found a bunch and Mechanic found the

rest. I restarted it after using both and once again... After clicking onto a

account it showed the desktop w/o any icons for about 5 seconds and then

ProCeeDeD to log me off ProMptly!! - - - I've been using these programs on my

machine routinely for years along w/other machines that I have successfully

cleaned and returned, so I'm really not thinking that utilizing them together

on these other machines is the fault. (but i could be wrong)

 

Is there anyone out there that knows a FiX for this?? Is this the "New

Thing" that the >bad people< have created to give Windows a brand new

headache???

 

AnY & ALL assistance and suggestions are MoRe than WeLCoMe!!!

 

THANX N ADVANCE,

Boot the computer to the Recovery Console

steps to boot the computer to recovery console

 

Boot your computer from your Windows XP CD. When the menu comes up

hit the “R” key to get to the recovery prompt) NOTE: You must be an

Administrator

in order to use Recovery Console.

 

2.) Change to the directory to <systemroot>\system32. (The prompt should

start off

at C:\Windows. Type CD system32. Example: c:\windows\system32)

 

3.) Type the following command and then press enter to replace the file:

 

expand <CDDRIVE>:\i386\userinit.ex_ <systemroot>\system32

 

4.) Once the file is expanded, type the following and press Enter:

 

copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe

 

5.) Once the file is copied, Exit the Recovery Console and restart the system.

 

Once these steps are done, the user should be able to log on again.

 

 

1) Once in Windows, Open the Registry Editor using rededit and browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

 

2) Modify the Value Userinit to C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, (Be sure to

include the comma)

 

3) Close registry Editor

 

4) Go to Windows Explorer

 

5) If present, navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 folder and delete

wsaupdater.exe

 

6) Also delete C:\Program Files\WindowsSA if present.

I returned to read your reply too late. I had already wiped the HD

clean and >attempted< to install XP. I wasn't successful though, now

I have a brand new dilemma to struggle with. I appreciate your help

never-the-less. Maybe you could assist me w/the new mess that I have created.

I posted it in "Performance and Maintenance". I'm going to keep your post for

future reference just in case. I'm about positive I will run into that

problem again.
