What is wininit.exe? Should you delete it?

Wininit.exe is a core system file of Microsoft Windows. It is required for booting Windows. It creates the Temp folder and executes svchost.exe, lsm.exe, and a window station. Its location must be C:\Windows\System32. Otherwise, it's 86% dangerous.

Killing the process

To kill the process, run "taskkill /f /im wininit.exe" (without the quotes) as administrator. Unless you really want a BSOD, don't do this.
