@aldan, here is another little tip on 023 lines:
When you fix a O23 entry Hijackthis will change the startup for this service to disabled, stop the service, and then ask the user to reboot. It will not delete the actual service from the registry or the file it points to. In order to delete the service you will need to know the service name. This name is the text between the parenthesis. If the display name is the same as the service name, then it will not list the service name and you are able to use the display name. If the display name has spaces within it you must ?enclose it in quotations?. It?s always best to enclose any display name in quotes, spaces or not.
There are several methods you can use to delete the service:
1. Delete it using XP's SC command you would type the following from a command prompt:
sc delete servicename or sc delete ?service name?
or build a Bat file like I did above.
2. Use HijackThis to delete the service. You can click on Config, then Misc Tools, and then press the Delete an NT service.. button. When it opens you should then enter the service name and press OK.
Be careful when removing items listed in these keys as for the most part they are legitimate. To research O23 entries you can use the Bleeping Computer Startup Database or SystemLookup.com.
Just another little tip from the 2oG bucket.

ddp, I started one some time ago and it got so confusing because of the 64 bit problem that Trend Micro never fixed after buying HJT from Merjin that I gave up on it. But I can get into it again. One of the problems is that the newer malware is not using most of the reg locations that this HJT was written for. And HJT does not remove malware files they must be removed manually or with a Malware removal tool. I will "Man-up" and spend some time on it to see how it goes. I will have to patronize most of the explanations because it would overwhelm most of the computer users that were not Die-Hard Geeks.LOL
I will see how it goes.
2oG That "2" is getting closer to a "Too" every day.. :)
