I've been working for 2 days now trying to fix this problem, but it has been a very resilient trojan (or group of them). I think I have the problem files isolated but I can't figure out how to remove them. The userinit value has been changed, and I can't modify it in Regedit. I've read some other materials suggesting the use of ComboFix, but the program (along with Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes, and SuperAntiSpyware) won't load after I double-click them on my desktop. AVG and Avira do load for some reason and I've completed scans with both of them. Sdra64.exe and lowsec.exe are my main concerns. Thank you in advance for your help!!
