Hello,
You are right that userinit.exe is a crucial windows file.
But If you are unsure about it’s being infected by virus or not, upload it here -> http://www.virustotal.com/
You will instantly know the results.
This file is located at C:WINDOWSsystem32
NOTE -> If your Anti Virus is not permitting this file to be uploaded, then you may need to disable your virus protection for few seconds to do that.

Trojan.FakeAlert is a malicious Trojan. All Trojans install silently and Trojan.FakeAlert is no exception. But it is possible that Trojan.FakeAlert will be installed together with a Rogue Anti-Spyware software.

Trojan.FakeAlert also changes some settings such as, disabling permissions for the user to change the background image and setting the active desktop to ‘show web content.
