After deleting the unwanted service, fix your clock and/or time zone. You're

How to delete service entry from a services list?

Hi,

I have win xp sp3. Recently a worm entered a bad service entry into windows
services list? My antivirus system has deleted that demon but how can I get
rid of
its entry of name from Services list?

How can I delete service entry from a services list?


Thanx in advance 4 ur time n effort.

Oc9ine.
 
Re: How to delete service entry from a services list?

What is the name of the Service? How do you know the service entry is
bad? What anti-virus programme detected the worm and what was the name
of the worm?

In a command shell (cmd.exe), run:

sc /?

You can use it to delete a service (but you need to stop it first). If
you haven't first saved a backup image of your OS partition, you could
shoot yourself in your foot.
