Comment:
SHeur.HKM - This is a form of Trojan virus and should be removed immediately. Has anyone else seen this variant recently? Its fairly new I believe and requires some manual hacking at ref level.
HKLM\..\Run: [userinit] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntos.exe or REG:system.ini: UserInit=D:\WINDOWS\system32\Userinit.exe,D:\WINDOWS\system32\ntos.exe
AVG picks up on this virus but NORTON or SOPHOS do not! (yet)
F.O.T.D : There are more people alive today on the earth, than all those who have died collectively.

muarrij, does it show on Kaspersky? A² should be able to handle it if not. Be aware that a virus and a Trojan are similar, but not the same. Many times, an AV detects one it can't clean , other times, it gets missed entirely. You can see if you have one using Kaspersky’s scan @: http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner If you need to clean one, Kaspersky has one or A² can do the job and you can get it free @: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software... among other places. FWIW, works with Vista. If it turns out that you need to use it, be sure to update prior to running. They just released a new update recently and it changes all the time. Things are in a constant state of flux. HTH. Ed in Texas.
