After a finding out that my system was compromised throgh DCOM I disabled
it
both through the registry and downloaded the decombulate tool to verify I
had
done it corrrectly.
I also downloaded the beta scanner that microsoft has it was the first
clue
that despite my efforts whoever is doing this was back it picked up 2
registry entries that it classified as suspicious in checking my event
log I
found this DCOMSCM, only had arrive into my services (despite my attempts
to
disble DCOM) this appeared as being a neccsary service, I changed that and
disabled it.

Being beyond paranoid at this point I need to clarify that this was not
part
of one of updates I have installed in the last day.
