HKLM cmd srvce settings

**Fermat** · 2005-12-01, 22:12

I'd appreciate any advice on this .....

For about the last 4 - 5 days, Spybot has complained of these 3 registry entries after every boot.
Despite me deleting them each time.

Command Service: Settings (Registry key, fixed)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mchInjDrv

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\mchInjDrv

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\mchInjDrv

When I looked at those keys with TuneUp Utilities before cleaning, they are "empty" entries.

I run XP SP2, fully patched. Tried switching off System Restore points after cleaning, then rebooting with Sys Restore still switched off, but they still came back.

I only use IE if absolutely forced to - Firefox is my browser of choice.

Should I be worried?

I've run a battery of malware and AV scan products and they've found nothing.
And Spybot Resident doesn't report anything suspicious (to me) when I boot.

In case it helps, here is a current Hijackthis.

Hi Mike

I assume its just a remnant, not harmfull.
Copy the contents of the code box below into a new notepad document (not wordpad). Click file> save as...> call it check.bat > file types *all files*> and save it to desktop. dont run it yet

Code:

dir %windir%\command.exe /a h /s > files.txt
dir %windir%\asappsrv.dll /a h /s >> files.txt
sc query cmdservice >>files.txt
sc query mchInjDrv >>files.txt
start notepad files.txt

Run check.bat and post the log that will open please

**Fermat** · 2005-12-02, 13:32

Thanks Lonny, that was quick.
I cleaned the keys with Spybot, then rebooted and ran your BAT file.
Here's the result.

Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is F06B-F20D

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

I've just looked at those keys again. They're different.
They all contain (from TuneUp registry editor)

Type = dword:00000001
ErrorControl=dword:00000000
Start=dword:00000004
ImagePath=\\??\\C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP\\mc21.tmp
DeleteFlag=dword:00000001

Windows search (including system, hidden folders) doesn't find mc21.tmp

I haven't seen any apparent ill effects since Spybot started finding those entries about 5 days ago. And none of my resident anti malware/virus progs have complained about anything. (I keep them updated at least daily).

Hi

I've just looked at those keys again. They're different.
They all contain (from TuneUp registry editor)

Elaborate on that please. not sure i understand

can you export this key for us ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\mchInjDrv

**Fermat** · 2005-12-02, 15:51

Hi, never used Export before.
I've created the export .reg file. Let's see if I can attach it ....

No, the filetype is rejected. Do you know if it's possible to rename it to another type without destroying the contents?

I've managed to capture the Tuneup screen as a .bmp, but it's too big to attach.

I've typed ithe details into the attached .txt, when it's entered here all the formatting is lost.

is that any help?
Mike

**LonnyRJones** · 2005-12-02, 15:59

Hi

If your comfortable doing so manualy delete
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\mchInjDrv

dont worry about the others controlsets

**fowmow** · 2005-12-02, 16:04

Fermat,

You can export from regedit by simply changing which file type to save it as under the "Save as type" dropdown.

So, File > Export... change the "Save as type" drop down from "Registration Files (*.reg)" to whatever you prefer.

**Fermat** · 2005-12-02, 17:11

Thanks Lonny.
Do you mean CurrentControlSet ?
I've no problem with deleting it.
Mike

**Fermat** · 2005-12-02, 17:12

thanks Fowmow. Obvious isn't it?
Mike

**LonnyRJones** · 2005-12-03, 01:39

Yes CurrentControlSet

Did it delete with no problems or was there an error ? does it return after a few hours ?
