WMDAMPMSP service on Win2000

[stickyb]

Whilst clearing a friends machine of the Lovgate.F virus, which drops a new service onto Windows 2000, I came across a service with the above name.
Unlike most standard windows services it doesn't have any description attached to it.
It runs a file called MSPMSPSV.EXE
Anyone know what it is or does?
