Wininit.exe It is an essential system for Windows. Its role is to perform in background some of the most important services/programs, like Service Central Manager (SCM), Local Security Authority Subsystem (LSASS) sau Local Session Manager (LSM), without which the system is not operable. That is why the completion or deactivation of this process is not recommended.
Winnit.exe It's a illegitimate process, malware, spread with the help of VIRUS of type worm W32/Rbot-AOM. It, once it has infected a system, connects to a IRC server where he is waiting for the receipt of orders. In addition, it creates inputs in registers (Run, RunOnce, RUNSERVICES, RUNSERVICESONCE) to ensure its automatic running every time the infected system is started.
In case you discovered winnit.exe running on your system, Perform a scan of registers urgently to eliminate illegitimate inputs and a thorough system scan using a antivirus of trust (our first recommendation is Kaspersky AntiVirus) to clean it from all malware files.
