Optimizing these XP system services can improve operational efficiency

Windows XP users asked me about the system Services option, in fact, there are many special application types in our computer, the service option in the computer is one of them, but because the service option is running in the background cause in the task manager can not see it. After the XP system is installed, will default to start a number of services, some of which we do not use the service, these services not only occupy the computer system resources, but also may be used, to our computer system security risks, so in the end what is not necessary to prohibit the service option? The following small series to share with you!

XP System Prohibited Service options

1, Telnet

Allows remote users to log on and run programs that support multiple TCP/IP Telnet clients, including unix-based and Windows based computers. If started, remote users can log in, access local programs, and even use it to modify the network settings for your ADSL modem.

2, NetMeeting Remote Desktop sharing

Allows authorized users to access each other over the network via NetMeeting, which can easily detect these account information when the service sends the user name in clear text to the client that connects it.

3. Terminal Services

Allows multiple users to connect and control a machine and display the desktop and application on a remote computer. The remote control feature, which does not use Win XP, can be banned.

4, Universal Plug and play Device Host

This service provides support for Universal Plug and Play devices. There is a security vulnerability to this service, and the computer running the service is vulnerable to attack. An attacker who sends a bogus UDP packet to a network with multiple win XP systems could cause the win XP host to attack the specified host (DDoS).

5, Messenger

Commonly known as Messenger service, computer users in the local area network can use it for data exchange. The service is vulnerable, msblast and slammer viruses are used for rapid transmission.

6. Performance Logs and Alerts

Collects performance data for a local or remote computer based on preconfigured schedule parameters, and then writes this data to the log or triggers an alert.

7, Remote Registry

Enables remote users to modify registry settings on this computer.

8. Remote Desktop Help Session Manager

If this service is terminated, Remote Assistance will not be available.

9. Performance Logs and Alerts

Collects performance data for a local or remote computer based on preconfigured schedule parameters, and then writes this data to the log or triggers an alert.

The above nine services can be banned, because these services we do not need to use, and these services are vulnerable to attack, so if the interested users may wish to study, I hope the above method will be helpful to everyone
