Threat Details:

Description:
Win32.Pinit copies malicious files, tries to register a malicious library to the system and changes terminal server settings in the registry.
Removal Instructions:
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\azton.mt".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\dllcache\user32.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\drivers\atmapi.sys".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\nvaux32.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\reg2.e".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Win32.Pinit uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) 2.x or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
Final Words:
If neither Spybot-S&D nor self help did resolve the issue or you would prefer one on one help,
