login problem

[Tomasz Grobelny]

Today on 3 Windows XP Home/Professional powered computers (out of ~15 in my
company) a weird thing happened on: when I try to log in to whichever
account Windows automatically logs me out. I just get the messages: loading
settings, saving settings, logging out (or whatever it is, I don't have it
in front of my eyes). It acts just as if a program performing logout was
placed in Autostart folder (but that is not the case). I suppose it may be
a virus (problem exists on computers on which OE/Outlook was used), but the
antivirus software haven't detected it. What can I do to restore the system
to a usable state (apart from reinstalling the system which would be hard
since one computer is in remote location).

I found a similar problem on microsoft support site (among other sites) but
they ware talking about wrong UserInit registry key set to wsaupdater.exe.
In my case the value seems to be ok but what the suspicious thing is that
userinit.exe file is missing on one of affected systems (at the moment I
have no info about the other systems). But what's weird: I tried to
reinstall windows in place (so the file should have appeared) but it didn't
help at all.

Doesn't help, in my case even safe mode fails (system restarts when it is
just about to show the desktop).
