Kill Protected Server, VB6

[Batch User]

I am writing another removal tool using Visual Basic and this virus loads as a service and protects it self. It can not be shutdown via safemode nor can it be via services.msc. So I need to make something that can kill this service. Does anyone know how I would go about writing it to kill a PROTECTED service? And no, setting the process token to SeDebugPriveledges does not help.

Then how would you do it manually?

have you tried deleting the registry keys associated with the service? Or try deleting all permissions to the key so that even system cannot read it then reboot make sure that the service is not started. And delete it.

Another option. Find the associated files, delete all permissions for the file, reboot. Then return to the file give only the current logged on user the minimum rights to delete the files and delete them. then remove the remaining juck left behind.
