Disabling Windows services

[EMET]

I'm not sure if anyone is interested in this, but if you want a good guide to disabling windows services, you can find it here...

He conveniently gives 3 levels to choose from...SAFE...TWEAKED....and BARE BONES.
He also made the columns 'sortable' and you can shuffle thru them using the < > buttons.

I'm using most of the 'SAFE' selections.

If anyone has a better guide or suggestions, please share.

I've used blackvipre.com when I was on Windows XP......Now for Windows 7 I feel like their is no real need to disable any services.

BlackViper is the only Services guide I know of.

Jack, I still think there is a need to disable Services in Windows 7.

Yes,their are quite a few services that can be disable in order to reduce the Ram usage, however I've got 3GB of Ram on this PC ...so RAM usage is not my main concern......

There weren't that many services in Windows 7 that I could disable without problems or inconveniences of some kind.

Hey Valentin...is there a search function that will search the entire forum?
Am I missing it somehow?
All I see is the ability to search a specific sub-forum.

Anyway, sorry about the double topic.

Check the top corner for a search box & button.

Check the top corner.

Strange....I'm using the 'Accord Ember' theme, and it's not there.

When I switch to the default theme it's there.

Thanks, now I know what to do.

I guess Jack removed it by mistake in Accord Ember. I added a link to Advanced Search in Accord Ember next to New Posts, Today's Posts. Sorry for that.
