bitsprx4.dll and wininit.exe

Morning all,
I'm running RC-1. I ran spyware Doctor and it flagged bitsprx4.dll and
wininit.exe as viruses. Windows site isn't clean on thses and Spyware Dr.
can't get rid of them. Also I cannot delete them in safe mode or using XP64
(dual boot system). Any ideas? Thanks, John

Sigh. Get a proper spyware program not one that picks random windows
executables and marks them as viruses to make you think that it's
actually doing something (windows defender works well, as does spybot, etc.)

If you do manage to delete wininit.exe your machine will no longer boot.
