spybot S&D has detected following registry keys but is unable to remove them

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\cmdService

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\cmdService

spybot asks for a reboot and then run spybot to fix this problem but is unable to fix it even after a reboot

scanning with lavasoft ad-aware does not show any such registry keys

i m using windows xp prof sp2

plz help........what should i do ?

thanks

it could be ur os setting or it could be an adware (look2me).
run hijackthis to be sure.

try this look2me removal tool

May be it cant remove them coz the files might be in use. Press ctrl+alt+del and turn of any application with the name 'cmdservice', or type msconfig in run and in the startup tab, uncheck cmdservice.
Hopefully that should do it.
If nothing helps, then manually delete it.
Run>>regedit>>go to appropriate locatin and delet the key

run scan in safe mode.. If restart is required, restart also in safe mode once...
