Exploiting services in Windows 2000, XP, 2003 improves productivity

Windows (Services) services are one of the core components of every application on Windows. With proper use (closing - interrupting or pausing) will help you exploit Windows most effectively. In addition, understanding these services will help you optimize Windows, enhance security and minimize viruses when unnecessary services are removed.

The potential risks of computer attacks are often in the absence of a certain part of Windows that you unconsciously let the system run itself. Moreover, the system may be more burdensome when having to "brace yourself" to launch these services. To access the Services from Start, select> Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Right-click on each service and select Properties , select General > Startup Type will have 3 options:

1. Automatic (Will start automatically by default Windows).
2. Manual is used in case you configure yourself to run or not run regardless of the default Windows configuration.
3. Disabled to close the service when you do not need this service.

Also in the General tab, there are Start - Stop - Pause - Resume options that help you decide whether to start or stop but you have to be aware that when you do not select the Startup Type above, these functions only work during the session. The current work of Windows after which you restart the system returns to its original state so when you decide to stop or start the service you have to select Startup Type.

 

Warning: When you close the service, you have disabled any functionality in Windows that you may use later, so we suggest you read the features carefully before disconnecting (Disabled). ). Some features when you disconnect may cause the computer to report an error because the system is using it for applications you install.

Application Layer Gateway: Needed if you want to use Windows Firewall (Internet Connection Firewall) or Windows Internet Connection Sharing (Windows Internet Connection Sharing). It will be useless if you do not use the above two applications.

Let Silvery Hat Hacker clean this up. If the update is not very effective, there is no need to update, except for the big security holes, please go to the updated microsoft website.

Background Intelligent Transfer: Support Windows Update, if you turn off Automatic Update above, disable this service to reduce system weight somewhat.

Clipbook: Allows you to see what is stored in the Clipboard, arrange them in order to perform what tasks in Clipbard. You may not need to do everything so important.

COM +: Both Event System and System Application Services help manage and hold Microsoft's Compoment Object Model.

Error Reporting: Automatic error notification can be a pretty good feature but sometimes too annoying and useless.

Fast User Switching Compatibility: If you do not use a shared device with many people, disabling this will greatly increase the capacity of the device.

So you do not do it.

Windows Installer: Help for .MSI installers can distribute data in it to your computer. But in fact, you don't always install-install-install the software on your computer continuously. Replacing its boot into the Manual will minimize the amount of RAM occupied.

Windows Management Instrumentation: This service allows communication of invasive software and uses the features in Windows that can take place completely. Windows itself also uses Windows Management Instrumentation, as other programs do, it is best to let it work.
