I believe DF5Serv.exe is running as a service. It also appears that it resists attempts to remove it.

I'm going to give you a couple of ways to remove this.

  1. Boot the computer, pressing [F8] as the initial Windows splash screen appears. From the ensuing menu choose "Safe Mode - command prompt only"
  2. Once booted and logged in, type "sc delete DF5Serv" and press enter.
  3. The command should echo back a number of lines. The one labeled "STATE" should tell you if the remove worked.

  1. If the message above indicates that the service didn't uninstall, type "msconfig" and press enter. (You may need to type "\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\msconfig")
  2. Here you can either click "Diagnostic Startup", or go to the \Services\ Tab and unselect "DF5Serv" from the services list. Click [OK].
  3. Allow msconfig to restart the computer and, once logged in - search for DF5Serv.exe and delete it.
  4. You will need to 'clean up' the mess by undoing the changes in msconfig and manually editting the registry (at your own risk!) to remove any keys referencing DF5Serv.
I hope this helps. Good Luck!
