I found quite a few suspicious services running by using "services.msc" command. I was able to disable them, but I feel much better if I can somehow remove them permanently. How can I accomplish that? |

From: "namsilat" <talismana@hotmail.com> | I found quite a few suspicious services running by using | "services.msc" command. I was able to disable them, but I feel much | better if I can somehow remove them permanently. How can I accomplish | that? If you have a "few suspicious services running" you ned to determine what they are ! They could be simplistic Trojan RootKits or complex ones and just deleting the service may be entirely insufficient ! If you truly think they are "suspicious", we need to identfy these services and determine if they are nefarious or malicious software on your computer ASAP ! -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
