I have viruses on my computer, all have been deleted except this 1, AVG is my antivirus, it keeps detecting a Tojan horse SHeur2.VPD in the C:\windows
system32\userinit.exe file, it wont delete it as its a critical system file needed to run windows.

So how do i fix this?

You should scan your computer in safe mode with updated antivirus and spyware removal tools.

You can download and install Malwarebytes through this link.

After installation of Malwarebytes, you should restart the computer and press F8 and select the Safe Mode and Scan your whole compter with Malwarebytes or AVG antivirus.
If virus detect then you try to delete.
