I was disabling some services today and noticed an odd one called “Drenubt”. It is set to manual and there is no info provided for it, a Google search turned up nothing as well. If I got to properties its path is C:\WINDOWS\System32\regwiz.exe which to the best of my knowledge is a legit windows system file, so I am not too worried about it. But it is still somewhat odd. Anyone have it on their system or know what it is? Also what is "regwiz"?

Many worms in the past have been known to overwrite the original Windows REGWIZ.EXE file.

Yeah, it does say Microsoft under file properties, but not Microsoft Corporation, which is what almost all of them seem to say. It says it was last modified September 3rd 2002 and I uploaded it to Jotti’s which found nothing, so I am pretty sure it is fine. But it is still a bit suspect in my book.
