I'm seeing "helplessVahoBaseball" service in the services menu. I have no idea what it is and I can't turn it off. I did a search for and can't find anyplace my PC either. The location that shows up when I opened it in the services menu doesn't exist from what I can find yet the service always shows up after a reboot. If anyone know what this service is and how to get rid of it?I'm running Windows 10 Pro version 21H2 build 1904.1415
Hello MSRadell,
Please post a screenshot showing this service you are inquiring about: How to Upload and Post Screenshots and Files at Ten Forums
Here's a capture showing the services screen as well as the properties of the service I'm talking about.
Thanks for the screenshot.
I can't even find that on the internet and have never heard of it. The good thing is that it is stopped - at least right now. I have Pro and no such odd service on my PCs.
I would change the startup type from Automatic to Disabled.

I would suggest an offline scan using Option 3:

More things to follow after you do these first and post updated status.
It won't let me start/stop/disable the service. I'll run a defender scan although I've already run a scan with Norton 360 and Malwarebytes both as we came up with nothing.
I'm not even sure it is his webs causing my problem with the habitation starting up the programs I mentioned in my original post, it's just something I found that looks strange.
Download this portable app and try disabling it
ServiWin: Windows Services/Drivers Tool (start/stop/restart service)
Select Help -> Run as administrator if you don't start it as administrator initially
Very unusual to have a service that doesn't have any hits on the internet - I'd be concerned it's a virus, trojan, malware etc, at point.
I found this, don't know if it applies to anything concerning you:

Well, according to OP posted screenshot, the executable file lies under C:\ProgramData\Helpless
Worth checking out.
