Strange entry in Services - what is this?



Win XP Pro, SP2 with critical updates
Office 2003
AV - NOD32 v3
SuperAntiSpyware
Online Armor

While adjusting a setting in Administrative Tools/Services, I noticed this as the first entry. It is running and startup is automatic

Name: ##ld_String1.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##

Description: ##ld_String2.6844F930_1628_4223_B5CC_5BB94B879762##

Logon as: Local System

I ran Process Explorer and it showed no process with anything like this. I googled and got nothing either.

Any ideas as to what this might be? Is it dangerous? What in the world is it doing?

TIA

Louise
