Hi All, My system PIII / 1Ghz / 384mb ram / WinXP Pro Sp2 / AntiVir / Kerio
4.2.1 / Ad-aware / Spybot / a-squared / Spyware Doctor / Proxomitron /
A4Proxy. The http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startups_all.zip
says, if there is any Isass.exe in startup it might be a Trojan. There is
one userinit.exe in the "Logon window of AutonRun" (Sysinternals) software.
The file in C:\windows\system32\ folder.

Is there really a trojan? Ad-aware / Spybot / a-squared / Spyware Doctor
declared clean system.

Your kindest most honest response will be appreciated.
 
Userinit.exe present in %Windir%\System32 is a legitimate system file.
Disabling or deleting Userinit.exe entry will cause complications (inability
to logon to your account)
