vxdisrva service
in [Help and Support]

From: brian_mk on 16 May 2010 04:23 Does anyone know what the vxdisrva system service does? I'm running XP pro + service pack 3. I get an error message in the system event log each time I boot telling me that the vxdisrva service cannot be started (file not found). I have searched the net but can find no reference. Using 'sc' from a command window gives me no useful information about the service other than it is a kernel driver. The registry entry has the group is set to 'Parallel arbitrator'. I'm starting to wonder if it could be a virus or trojan. I could simply remove the registry entry that attempts to start the service but I would like to know what it is first.
From: Bob Lucas on 16 May 2010 08:34 I don't know what the vxdisrva system service does. As you say, Google provides no useful info whatsoever, which suggest it might be Malware. Have you tried a Malwarebytes scan?

Viruses don't creat NT Services. Trojans do. This is not legitimate. If you know how to use SC.EXE, use it to stop and delete the service then download, install, update and then execute, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
