About 3 years ago, I had uninstalled PC-Cillin 2000 antivirus software. And had also deleted the program file folders by using Norton Uninstall. I see that the "Trend NT Realtime Service" is still showing on my Services under WIN2K.

The Event Viewer/System Log keeps showing this error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7001
Date: 11/5/2003
Time: 6:22:26 PM
User: N/A
Computer:
Description: The Tmfilter service depends on the Vsapint service which failed to start because of the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Right now I put this Service to "Disabled".

If I look at the Property for this Service, the Path to Executable is:

"C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\PC-cillin 2000\Tmntsrv.exe"

I know don't have that program file folder/files anymore since it has been deleted/uninstall long time ago.

My question, how can I get rid of this "Trend NT Realtime Service" off my computer, and not showing ever agin when I look under my Services directory.

Open your registry, go to the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es] key

and then delete (BACKUP FIRST!) the key for that service (verify the path in the ImagePath value, as well as the name in DisplayName of the service in the right pane)...
