Neil, did you attempt what I described in my original email? Identify the EXE/DLL, then gather information from it's properties, as well as run it through VirusTotal.com - if you need me to resend the email I can. =) -- Peace. ~G On Thu, 09 Sep 2004 10:08:40 -0600, Neil Verkland <verklandn () macewan ca> wrote:
Problem Description: English WindowsXP install with SP2 and Windows Services for Unix installed Unknown Windows service recognized in Services MMC: "Servicio de Agenda de Alejandria". Mysterious reboot while using the system. It is unclear weather this service is related to the problem or not. AVG and Housecall and McAfee Enterprise didn't find anything. Spybot and Ad-aware Personal didn't find anything. Progress: Thanks to one listener who tried to translate: "Service for the Agenda of Alexandra". Thanks to many listeners who identified the command line method for shutting down windows services: net stop <service name> No light has been shed on the ID of this particular windows service yet. Nope, didn't find anything useful in Google because my Spanish skills are ZERO. Neil S. Verkland, B.Sc.C.S. Manager, Learning and Information Systems Grant MacEwan College
