Computer keeps logging off automatically ... [Solved/Closed]

this time i have an answer!!!!!!!! real one!!!!!
i realised(yes, my school teaches british english) that a lot of the antivirus programs (AVG, kaspersky, blah) have sth similar to a "residential shield" in AVG, it simply keeps scanning your computer (or sth like that, im not so sure), this creates problems such as the uTorrent problem and so on, there are a few solutions:
1. switch off your antivirus (which is rather stupid)
2. delete your antivirus (same thing)
3. switch off your residential shield from your antivirus options
4. most antiviruses have an exceptions option to add exceptions to the scan, go to "Add exceptions" from AVG or other AV and add your system32 folder to the exceptions list, just in case, you could also add the msn messenger folder from program files to prevent the login/logoff problem

The main reasons behind this problem is a corruption in the registry key which holds the value of the files which are executed while login to windows. This registry key can get either replaced with some incorrect value or it might get corrupt due to some virus / trojan activity. Lets see how to fix this issue.

We need to remotely access the infected computer from another computer on same network. Then we need to correct the registry key for userinit under winlogon.

Lets see the steps one by one:

1. Connect the infected computer to a network which has at least one healthy computer connected. Power on both of the computers.

2. From the healthy computer, Go to Start > Run, type regedit.exe and press enter. This will launch the registry editor.

3. Go to File > Connect Network Registry, by using this infected computer's name or IP address.

4. Locate this entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

5. At this entry there is a key names userinit, double click on the key and set its value to "C:\WINDOWS\System32\userinit.exe,"

Exit the registry editor, restart the infected computer. This is it. This will work for most of the computers.

Ok my computer is fixed now i got in a computer tech guy but i watched him the whole time so his what he did
He started off by running the computer with a disk so the computers hardrive aint running its the disk its slow as hell but u will b able to find a program off the internet 2 run ur comp this way anyway u can save anything you need onto a usb if something is really important. He then checked 2 see if the virus was deleted which it was though it had enterfered with the windows logging on system so he re enstalled windows but it had deleted the windows thing as a virus!!! so he copies the files from his laptop same windows edition of course and replaced them with my old windows logging in system but if all u need is some important files find the program which allows u 2 run ur pc through the comp and then mabey OS ur hole system :O yep its shit i know if u dont know what 2 do cuz my instructions r shitty but prob calling ur IT guy is the best thing if u dont know 2 much about ur PC

i have sony vaio laptop model number VGN - F 850/W with window xp . it restarts automatically after i login through administrator .

i had the same problem. just go into control panel & go into power option and go to the advance tab and uncheck "prompt for password when computer remains on standby"

So I have the same problem but I have an HP mini so I cant run a disk or anything.
Since I cant log on I cant get to the control panel or the internet. What can I do??

My computer kept saying that it had a virus (the Anti-virus program is Bit-defender) for about the past two days when I have to log in and my Internet isn't always reliable so I would have to restart my computer a few times. And when I tried to log in after turning it off for a few hours I kept getting kicked off about six times before I called my dad and he said put it on safe mode, which I did and I still was unable to sign on. I also was told when I tried to Ctrl + Shift + Del that the administrator doesn't allow that. I don't know what to do I really want to log into my computer. Please help! Please? I really don't want to reformat my computer, I have a lot of important things on there! Please, please, PLEASE help.

Dear Kovac,


This problem may be the problem of windows.
put windows cd and boot from cd.
it will load windows files and it will asking for press F8 to accept license .the it will detect the previous version if windows. then it will asking for "don't Repair",Repair


in that time press "R" for repair. It will remove old windows files and load new windows file with out losing of data and software which is loaded in your sytem.


may this idea will help to you.
if solved please mail me vinodh@yahoo.com



thanks

i had the same problem and i was clueless of what to do, i brought it to the repair guy but the pay was too much. i ended up getting a new 1, this doesnt help much but im just sharing my experience, really sorry about ur laptop

do you have Outlook Express runnig on you PC?
If you have an hook in options -> connection you'll be logged off every time when outlook receives emails. The simplest thing is to take the hook out and all is okay. For questions, please contact me.

you probly just have a .bat file with shutdown -f or something in your startup. look in c:\documents and settings\"the account your logging into'\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, that folder shouldn't have anything in it. Also try runing msconfig to edit your autorun.

Does ANYONE have the solution for this problem?
I'm experiencing the same with my computer.
No I do not want to format and re-install XP because, one, I lost my XP CD ages ago (it's XP for Gods sake, not Windows 7), two, I have a whole bunch of programs, music, movies, pictures, and important documents I would lose if I did. Reformat isn't really a solution.
Please help.
