| This file attempts to resemble the Microsoft Windows .exe 'services.exe' in the system32 folder. I removed this file without causing harm. Also found a file named lssas.exe (Similarity to lsass.exe) in the system32 without the Microsoft signature that had been created at around the same time as service.exe. Soulsphere | |
| "Service" is NOT a Microsoft Cororation Program but "Services" is. Be carful not to get them confused. Service is add ware for a program that installs itself and gives you a message that runs in hidden mode, this message says: "Too many critical errors! Fix your registry now to avoid system crash and data loss." The program it wants to install is called Registry Magic. Dont use this software as it may add other add products to your computer. Download Process Explorer, its free; and kill this process. Remember... you want to kill the one that says "Service" NOT "Services" !Parable! | |
