Re: Unusual service what is it?

You can spend quite a little time @ www.sysinternals.com just window
shopping. I mean, even if you do not download anything there is plenty of
interesting information.

Rootkit Revealer available at www.sysinternals.com .......free.
While
you are there, get Process Explorer, also free. It is a great app for
showing exactly what is running on your machine and the amount of cpu
cycles in % used by each.
Heirloom, old and thanks for the
assist, Wes!

If you have not used RootkitRevealer...
Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

If you have used RootkitRevealer, it adds a random named *.exe file and
a
random named service and runs as that service. The random named *.exe
file
will show up in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp folder. Every time
you
run
RootkitRevealer it adds another random service to services.msc. The
randomly named *.exe file will be deleted, but the registry settings
are left behind.

[[The reason that there is no longer a command-line version is that
malware
authors have started targeting RootkitRevealer's scan by using its
executable name. We've therefore updated RootkitRevealer to execute its
scan
from a randomly named copy of itself that runs as a Windows service.]]
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevealer.html

RootkitRevealer leaves references to these random named *.exe files
behind so that you see strange service names in services.msc.

If you do not want to mess in the registry, see Alternate method below.

You'll find the left behind services here...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Locate the service(s) in the list. ImagePath should point to
Local Settings\Temp folder, as a double check.

Delete them and reboot.

[[Important This article contains information about modifying the

Alternate method To delete a service.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click the service you want to get rid of |
On the General tab, Service name: take note of the Service Name not
the Display Name | Close Services

Then open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |

Type: sc delete Whateverservice Display Name

and hit Enter

Reboot.

See...
sc delete
here...
