It can be removed manually: 1. open msconfig, services tab, uncheck the "Command Service" entry. 2. open regedit, go to HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\cmdService and grab the location of the file command.exe from the String Value ImagePath. 3. open explorer and go to the location and remove the .vbs file. 4. reboot computer, open explorer, go to the location again and remove the folder that contains command.exe (in my case amFub3M). 5. open regedit and go back to the registry entry cmdService and delete it. 6. Done

it is used as a hack for AV software, it unlimits the trial version of the AV software, ie: it doesn't expire, suspected trojan gathering information as well

Same thing- started happening when I opened a bad setup file, now I get about 1-2 popups per minute, drastically slowed performance. Can't figure out how to remove it in XP

shows as a service, and pretty much impossible to delete. It gives me a ton of pop-ups at random times.
   

To remove command manually, please make sure you know what you are doing or get help from an administrator

The file can be found with anti virus but logs itself in your mem as your computer boots up, so it's hard for virus programs to remove it

Blocks downloads of windows updates, interferes with windows installer, so you cannot add antivirus or removal software

Most likely a trojan (named Buddy Trojan). Doesn't seem to do much anyway...
