| 412539 | 2005-12-13 22:36:00 | Hi, The time it takes for my system to load is quite long so I've decided to turn off some services from the System Configuration Utility. However I am not sure what each service is for. Below are the services that startup everytime the computer starts. Application Layer Gateway Service Windows Audio AVG7 Alert Manager Server AVG Update Service Background Intelligent Transfer Service Computer Browser Symantec Event Manager Symantec Password Validation Service Indexing Service Command Service COM+ System Application Cryptographic Services DCOM Server Process Launcher DHCP Client Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service Logical Disk Manager DNS Client EPSON Printer Status agent2 Error Reporting Service Event Log COM+ Even System Fast User Switching Compatibility Help and Support HID Input Service HTTP SSL IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service Server Workstation TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing MpService Distributed Transaction Coordinator Windows Installer Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect Service Net Logon Network Connections Network Location Awareness (NLA) NTLM Security Support Provider Removable Storage Plug and Play IPSEC Services Protected Storage Remote Access Auto Connection Manager Remote Access Connection Manager Remote Desktop help Session Manager Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator Remote Procedure Call (RPC) QoS RSVP Security Accounts Manager ScriptBlocking Service Smart Card Task Scheduler Secondary Logon System Event Notification Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Shell Hardware Detection Print Spooler System Restore Service SSDP Discovery Service Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) MS Software Shadow Copy Provider Performance Logs and Alerts Telephony Terminal Services Themes Distributed Link Tracking Client Windows User Mode Driver Framework Universal Plug and Play Device Host Uninterruptible Power supply TrueVector Internet Monitor Volume Shadow Copy Windows Time WebClient Windows Management Instrumentation Portable Media Serial Number Service WMI Performance Adapter Security center Automatic Updates Wireless Zero Configuration Network Provisioning Service Can anyone tell me what each service is for, whether it is necessary for running the computer and which services I should turn off? Btw, my computer is connected to a home network so I won't be able turn off services related to this. Thanks Michael |

| 412542 | 2005-12-13 22:53:00 | Yes I have looked in the startup tab and unticked the programs I don't want running. There is a program however that is ticked even though I unticked it so many times - xgmgif. I am thinking that this is a virus. How can I remove it? Also, is there a way to remove the programs from the startup list that are unticked - I have so many that are unticked. Michael |
