O23 - Service: PRTG Service - Paessler Router Traffic Grapher (PRTGService) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\PRTG Traffic Grapher\PRTG Traffic Grapher.exe (file missing) usig HJT i have also seen a registry entry for Paessler Router Traffic Grapher and removed manually
but iam not sure whether more regitry entries for the same exist.
