[HELP] Got to block service called dcomcfg permanently and delete file

[HighDarkTemplar]

I got this **** annoying thing constantly spamming me and reviving itself when i use the task manager and/or hijackthis to kill the process. Any ideas about how to block it from even starting?

Do you have spyware on your computer? Run an anti spyware tool and see if that helps.

Or boot into safe mode and delete that file.

Got spybot, adaware and microsoft for anti spyware. Installing SP2 at the moment. F5 for safe mode, right?

Do you have very current A/V on the system, not just antispyware? If not, you should read the following (hint: dcomcfg is a trojan, trying to hide as the legitimate dcomcnfg application):

sounds like spyware/virus to me. For Anti-Virus I'd recommend Kaspersky or NOD32. Google "anti-virus comparatives" for an awesome website dedicated to anti-virus software if you wish to know more, thanks.

You press F8 to access the safe mode and other options menu before Windows boot up.

Do it from a command prompt. Just delete its file and even if the service is still registered in the registry, it will not start since the file is gone. Now you can proceed to remove its registry entries in normal mode.

For years in my own computer business, I've specialized in computer security and efficiency.

I use only AVG 7.1 FREE for my AV and Trojan Hunter for my Trojan remover and preventer.

The anti-Spyware programs you mentioned are also on my preferred list.

To get rid of DCOM (the real one) and several other security NO-NO's, download GRC.com zipped files from my Download site.

Unzip it to the folder of your choice and run each routine to eliminate a security hole, from your OS.

The "Decombobulator" will shut down DCOM on your computer. (the real one, not the phoney one)

Good Luck,
