If you want a detailed security rating about your service.exe (and all other running background processes) download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!

All comments about service.exe: Mark "Sleepy" is a utility for scheduled shutting down of your PC.  See also: Link Soulsphere This file attempts to resemble the Microsoft Windows .exe 'services.exe' in the system32 folder. I removed this file without causing harm. Also found a file named lssas.exe (Similarity to lsass.exe) in the system32 without the Microsoft signature that had been created at around the same time as service.exe. !Parable! "Service" is NOT a Microsoft Cororation Program but "Services" is. Be carful not to get them confused. Service is add ware for a program that installs itself and gives you a message that runs in hidden mode, this message says: "Too many critical errors! Fix your registry now to avoid system crash and data loss." The program it wants to install is called Registry Magic. Dont use this software as it may add other add products to your computer. Download Process Explorer, its free; and kill this process. Remember... you want to kill the one that says "Service" NOT "Services" Martin Greif PrivacyView enables users to surf for adult content without leaving traces. Much of the product runs as a background process so others with access to the user's computer will not know they installed Privacy Software. PVService runs as a background process that ensures that private files are encrypted if PrivacyView or Windows shuts down unexpectedly. Further, the service is also responsible for initiating the clean up routines for the Internet Cache. I know about this file becuase I work at PrivacyView Software, LLC.
