Re: Unknown Windows Service suspected Worm/Virus

Have you tried to get information from the file (EXE/DLL) starting
this service? It should be listed in the run command (Start -> Run ->
msconfig) somewhere. You may also check out the StartupCPL program
from Mike Lin (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml), the standalone
EXE version works beautifully.

Once you have located the file the service is run from, get the
properties of it and see what you can see. Open it in Notepad and see
what you can read. You may also try running it through
www.VirusTotal.com - it will be scanned with a handful of AV programs,
all with the latest virus definitions. This will usually solve the
problem as the heuristics will find stuff frequently.

Best of luck.

If anyone can identify this windows service please respond. Systems
with this service seem to reboot automagically and terminal services is
started and I am unable to stop the service via the control panel.
Please also respond with the command line to stop a service. My windows
skill are not as prolific as Solaris. Thanks.
