This is a great way to cleanup the mess left behind by the Conficker virus. Most Anti-Virus programs will cleanup the threatening components of the Conficker virus, but there may be registry entries in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\… as well as rogue Services still appearing in the Services list.
This command will remove both.

Just a note: use the Service name, not the Display name.

Hope it helps !!
