Comment:
I have a service running that keeps eating up resources. I kill it and it keeps coming back. It is called adcom.exe I have ran Adware, Spybot, virus scanned. I searched the hard drive and found it in the c:\windows\help\SBSI directory. I did a adcom.exe -UnRegServer but it keeps coming back. Searched the registry and deleted all entries for it. I went into the wsconfig, didn't see anything. I searched on Google and here but found nothing on adcom.exe Does anyone here have any ideas?

hi corrine, hit start button, then go to run, then type in services.msc, when box opens up look for adcom.exe as a service and disable it. all the best, murve
