I have a Windows XP Pro computer that I think has been hit with a virus. It
is not part of a domain currently. I have 2 accounts on the computer
(Administrator and Joe) and when I try and log on to either one it appears
to start the login then goes right to saving settings and logging out. I
even tried to do this in Safe mode so I could run a MalwareBytes but no go.
If I can't log in then I can't run Malware Bytes.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

-Richard

The machine is probably affected by malware. The problem has been reported
numerous times and if you put the words

"userinit.exe" logon logoff

into a Google search box then you will see countless reports and solutions.
Post again if unsuccessful!
