Have you tried restarting the computer after Sony's PC Companion was first installed? – Propeller Jul 13 '12 at 4:52

You can't terminate wininit. If their installer is trying to do so then it's broken, or trying to install a rootkit by replacing system files in use by wininit. Normally you should have an option to ignore the warning and it will simply need a reboot after the install (though given that it's warning about a system process, I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it). Did you get the installer from Sony's official site?
