My client had a trojan which put a file 'svcinit.exe' in the registry. AVC found it and dealt with it but on boot up he now gets two messages: "cannot find the file 'svcinit.exe'" and then: "could not load or run svcinit.exe specified in the WIN.INI file".
He is running Win98SE - what could be looking for this file on start up?

Yep - this worked fine. Thanks for your help. I had already deleted svcinit in Explorer and deleting the Win.ini line finished the job. Thanks again
