Here are the descriptions of problems connected with Command Service and windowsx.exe we received earlier:

Problem Summary: I can't find or get rid of Command Services

I've tried every free virus program I can find, none works. I've tried to locate it with "ISeeYouXP" and "ExploreXP" and can't find anything remotely named Cmndsvc or anything that even resembles it. My AOL spyware finds it and blocks it, but it comes back in minutes if not seconds. It (AOL) won't tell me where it is. It eats up my CPU usage and/or activates "system Idle Process" even while I'm trying to use it (even while typing, sometimes). I can't start in safe mode or run a disk check program or start windows(XP) normally. I can only start in Last known Good Conf. I can't do a restore point. I've tried many antivirus and spyware programs and even trie one named Delcmdsvc, nothing works. Any help or advice would really be appreciated. I've never had one I couldn't get rid or find. I've had this one since early May!!
