This uninstaller entry 'ConnectionServices' appeared in my add/remove recently (or at least I noticed it recently) and when I attempted uninstalling it, I got all sorts of odd looking happenings coming from comodo firewall's defense+, so I stopped the uninstall.

I was brought here by http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=10951 after googling this to figure out what it might be, and went ahead with BlackLight and the removal tool posted there, both of which found nothing.

Panda scan turned up this gem, but it tells me nothing and the scan unexpectedly closes before the scan finishes every time.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Hi Dave, are you sure this item even got installed? Reason I ask is because here:
http://www.castlecops.com/tk34920-ConnectionServices_module.html
CC's indicates the item is detected by Kaspersky (AdWare.Win32.BHO.gs) and you can see the Kaspersky Online Scan is clean.

I do not know a few of your programs, but see nothing I believe is malware?

Have a look in Add Remove programs, uninstall anything you know does not belong there. You might also search for these files:
ConnectionServices.dll, ConnectionServices.dll.upd

To see if they show up? My gut feeling is that you do not have a problem, let me know what you find.

Thanks

I deleted the uninstaller file and reference and haven't had anything odd happen since. I think you may be right, since nothing else is really going awry.

Thanks for the help!
