my anti-virus (Trend Micro Titanium)
has been blocking a process called "appsvc.exe" saying it is a "TROJ_HIDEFIL.BMC"
i have located it but i cannot delete it saying that i need permission from my user to delete it. I am currently logged on as my user but i am unable to delete it saying the same error message. i have also tried to use the hidden administrator account using "net user administrator /active:yes"
but that account also needs permission from my user.
it constantly tries to open every 5 seconds and i cannot stop it. i can end its process from the task manager but it still continues to try starting itself up again. please help.

Solution
This thread goes back a few weeks and has morphed into tangential problems. Let me go back to the original issue and raise the question of whether there is an actual problem. The original issue was that Trend Micro identified appsvc.exe as a trojan.
First question: could appsvc.exe be a legit program on this computer. If it is supposed to be there, it would have come pre-installed as part of Lenovo ReadyComm 5. These links describe what it is, where it should be on the computer, what other files you should find with it, etc.: http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/lenovo-readycomm-5-13720-program.aspx and more comprehensive information of appsvc.exe, specifically: http://processchecker.com/file/AppSvc.exe.html

It may not be the smartest thing to double click the exe, as many programs may have several exes, linked in various ways. You should use the Shortcut in Programs, or the shortcut on desktop.
Further, "A System Restore error would only appear if someone was actually trying to run System Restore in an effort to fix a problem." - Link Removed
Might be very true. Leading my thoughts to the fact that it's a driver / other installation problem. Instead of restore, you might try "hard way" uninstallation of anything installed lately, especially if you have used some automated updates. Not to forget, quite often these problems are faster resolved by reinstalling Windows altogether, instead of fighting for light years with isolated problems. A good move is to have Windows System installed in one place, and have personal files in another place = partition or disk. That way you can reinstall Windows without having personal files affected.
Hope you get it fixed - sincere hope!
