Re: completely delete unknown services from registry

Logon as a local administrator and user regedit to open the registry editor
and go to Hkey_Local_Machine\system\currentcontrolset\services and look for
the registry entries and delete them. Check the general page of the service
in services.msc to find the service name which may be different than the
display name as that is what you want to look for and be sure to check the
path name to the executable to make sure that file is also deleted. If you
find a key with the service name right click it and select delete. Many
malware or spyware detection and removal programs may also clean it up. Be
sure to use the latest definitions for anything you scan in and also try do
it in Safe Mode. --- Steve

Can anyone help with the following.

I have cleaned out temp directory but services.msc shows two services
loaded from temp directory unknown if they were spyware or what.

The following service names

PYHQWDH
PFTKEQ

Both currently are set to disable.

Is there anyway to complete remove these services from the registry.

Thanks
