Ever heard of a Windows service called 'darkness'?

Is it a malware? The computer has been diagnosed with some viruses. I've tried looking here but haven't found any information about it yet.

Yah, I would agree. This question is legit and relevant information. – Troggy – 2009-08-17T18:48:51.023

Maybe they wanted more detail, like a process name or error message. – hyperslug – 2009-08-17T18:49:31.927

What error message would there be? And the name of the service in question is clearly stated in the title? – EBGreen – 2009-08-17T19:14:54.590

The question is if these have a windows service called by that name. Why would a virus call its windows service by such an eye-attracting name? – ripper234 – 2009-08-17T18:57:32.300
