Strange service

[raduking]

I have XP Pro SP2 and I just noticed I have a really strange service called:

Asdtcafv

first I thought it's a virus but no antivirus found anything wrong with my system

I checked then the registry and found it there:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Asdtcavf]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000020
"Group"="Parallel arbitrator"
"Tag"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Asdtcavf\Enum]
"0"="Root\\LEGACY_ASDTCAVF\\0000"
"Count"=dword:00000001
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Asdtcavf\Security]
"Security"=hex:01,00,14,80,90,00,00,00,9c,00,00,00,14,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,02,\
 00,1c,00,01,00,00,00,02,80,14,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,\

 05,12,00,00,00,00,00,18,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,\
 20,02,00,00,00,00,14,00,8d,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,0b,00,00,00,00,\
 00,18,00,fd,01,02,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,d8,00,af,00,f6,00,74,00,00,00,\
 9a,00,00,00,3f,00,00,0a,0a,00,00,00,00,00,bf,00,fa,00,fa,00,67,00

anyone knows what's with this service and maybe get rid of it if it's possible ?

here's the key it refers (maybe it helps)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_ASDTCAVF]
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_ASDTCAVF\0000]
"Service"="Asdtcavf"
"Legacy"=dword:00000001
"ConfigFlags"=dword:00000000
"Class"="LegacyDriver"
"ClassGUID"="{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}"
"DeviceDesc"="Asdtcavf"

Just a guess, but: do you happen to be a client of All Systems Datatel (ASDT) Sacramento California which provides different communication services?
