I too was having the same problems. Didn't look like anybody has been responding to any posts with uacinit.dll issues lately so I went ahead and downloaded the combofix. Once I downloaded it, it would not run. Saw in another log that when you downloaded it, you needed to save it as a different name, such as momsday.exe. I did that and ran the momsday.exe and it ran and sucessfully cleaned things up. It took awhile, but did clean it up. I am now able to get into my malware and spybot problems with the correct extensions and system seems to be working ok now.

Thanks martindr. That's my next step. ;)

I noticed a few other odd things that I wanted to mention...

  • I have been receiving "viewmgr" exceptions everytime I logon
  • iexplore.exe launches in the background on startup and while my computer is on. No matter how many times I kill the process, it starts again
  • programs are showing up on my system tray at startup that weren't there before (specifically napster)
  • There are two unknown processes in the System Configuration startup tab that I am unable to "deselect" I get a message that I have to be logged on as administrator (I tried that too, with no luck.)
  • I am unable to create a restore point in the registry


Yes, I noticed that also, i would always kill the iexplorer right away, and it did now come back for awhile. I too could not do a restore point either. Every program I tried to use (and was suggested on this site), would not run without renaming it.

I have not tried restore point since things got cleaned up, was afraid it might put me back into a state I did not want to be.

Otherwise, I was able to execute malwarebytes and do an update which i could not do before either.

Everything seems to be ok at this point. I reran my malwarebytes after the update in full scan and it found some other stuff but it did not find the uacinit.dll anymore.
