Re: Can't find C:\windows\userint32.exe

You have a worm or a worm has been removed without removing its startup
reference.

userint32.exe is a process that is added by the W32/Oscabot-C worm. It uses
IRC to get remote commands. This program is a registered security risk and
should be removed immediately. If found on your system make sure that you
have downloaded the latest update for your antivirus application.
