ULHDBZHW This has shown up in my services? I have googled it and it doesn't
show up? What is it? and if its bad how to get rid of it?
 
Did you left click on it to get the 'description?' Have you done a search
in the reg and your HD for it? (when searching the HD, be sure to do a
'text' search as well as the files and folder). I can't tell you what it
is....I don't have it and, like you, nothing shows on the Google radar.
You should look in the MSCONFIG Startup for anything unusual, or, try
disabling it in Services and see what happens, run a good
spyware/malware/adware app to see if it picks up on it. I.E. Spybot S&D,
Adaware SE, HijackThis!, etc. Bottom line, something that cryptic probably
ain't good.

If you have not used RootkitRevealer...
Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

If you have used RootkitRevealer, it adds a random named *.exe file and a
random named service and runs as that service. The random named *.exe file
will show up in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp folder. Every time you
run
RootkitRevealer it adds another random service to services.msc. The
randomly named *.exe file will be deleted, but the registry settings are
left behind.

[[The reason that there is no longer a command-line version is that malware
authors have started targeting RootkitRevealer's scan by using its
executable name. We've therefore updated RootkitRevealer to execute its scan
from a randomly named copy of itself that runs as a Windows service.]]
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevealer.html

RootkitRevealer leaves references to these random named *.exe files behind
so that you see strange service names in services.msc.

If you do not want to mess in the registry, see Alternate method below.

You'll find the left behind services here...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Locate the service(s) in the list. ImagePath should point to
Local Settings\Temp folder, as a double check.

Delete them and reboot.

Rootkit Revealer available at www.sysinternals.com .......free. While
you are there, get Process Explorer, also free. It is a great app for
showing exactly what is running on your machine and the amount of cpu cycles
in % used by each.
Heirloom, old and thanks for the assist,

You can spend quite a little time @ www.sysinternals.com just window
shopping. I mean, even if you do not download anything there is plenty of
interesting information.
