Winlogon value changed Userinit no info button option?

[PinkElephant]

Spybot just sent me a notice that I need some expert assistance to figure out please.

Spybot has noticed an important registry entry that has been changed.

Category: Winlogon
Change: Value changed
Entry: UserInit
Old data: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe.
New data: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\userinit.exe.

remember this decision
Allow change ? ***no info button*** Deny change

Thanks very much in advance.

I have Windows XP home edition SP3
IE and FF both are up to date
Norton Antivirus
Spybot
adaware
spyware blaster
registry mechanic

which are all up to date

Thanks I've had Spybot for years and this is the first time an entry has prompted me to ask others.

can be found about teatimer and how to handle the prompts in the faq found here (http://www.spybot.info/en/faq/index.html).

This thread (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=281) also has useful info

Generally, if you are just online and surfing the internet, and you not installing anything or changing any system settings, you should deny. Not remember and deny, just deny. If you are installing software or changing a system setting (such as your screen saver), choose allow.

Hope that helps you in the future! :) :welcome:
