Hi malware fighters,

Some services in XP can be disabled to either make the computer faster or when they are not absolutely necessary: http://www.optimizingpc.com/optimize/windowsservices.html

What services would you do without?

Years ago, I used the Blackviper info to disable unneeded or unwanted services with good results. I do not remember all of them at the moment but for sure Windows Messenger was disabled and then removed.

With extreme care, for the majority this is totally unnecessary.

But I have used blackviper in the past also.

I have played with them manually for a while now, it seems as though you can sqeeze a little more out of a PC by doing it… I think you gain better performace by stopping various things from starting at boot ;D

I am normally running between 30 and 33 processes in task mgr :o
