Virus Removal Help -- Wininit

Hello there, haven't been here in awhile, last computer just crapped out, and first problem in a year with the laptop. Turned on the computer the other day and boom, avg keeps having an incessant popup saying that system32\wininit.exe is infected, and it can't remove it because it is "white listed. Also says Trojan horse patched_c.JEU. I've been searching for awhile for help but everything I've found won't work (typically opening task manager and stopping process), which will just cause a blue screen. Any help would be fantastic. Thanks so much.

Hello mcfarljd and

My name is JonTom.

• Malware Logs can sometimes take a lot of time to research and interpret.
  
• Please be patient while I try to assist with your problem. If at any time you do not understand what is required, please ask for further explanation.
  
• Please note that there is no "Quick Fix" to modern malware infections and we may need to use several different approaches to get your system clean.
  
• Read every reply you receive carefully and thoroughly before carrying out the instructions. You may also find it helpful to print out the instructions you receive, as in some instances you may have to disconnect your computer from the Internet.
