Securing Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 services HOW TO

I will try changing their settings sometime, the one thing I've noticed about this guide is that it doesn't list the Windows services that NEED to be left as local system, so some people might not be too sure what they're doing and worry about any that aren't listed. Just a suggestion that you might want to include in any future revisions. *Smile

The non-default ones I have that you have not listed are:

.Net Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86
Ati HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
AVG E-mail Scanner
AVG7 Alert Manager Server
AVG7 Update Service
BlueSoleil Hid Service
Bluetooth Support Service
ewido anti-spyware 4.0 guard
iPod Service
Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service
Service Layer
Windows Defender Service

The problem is that the only ones of these I actually use are The AVG and Windows Defender services and occasionally the "Service Layer" service (related to Nokia PC Suite) and the "Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service" (related to WindowsLive Messenger). Anyway, I'll see how much I can secure those and post back how I get on. I'll try to test it sometime this week just I'm a bit waring of changing the AVG settings because the only way to test if it was still working would be for a virus to be detected... and I' rather I didn't get viruses!

 

Windows Camera Frame Server turns on on its own

I have a 2017 Surface Pro, recently my computer has been making a sound like the ticking of a watch. When I check my task manager

Windows Camera Frame Server is turned on, when I force quit this program the clicking stops. This happens when I haven't been using my camera or anything with video capture, so this program shouldn't be on. After I force quit the program, it often turns
itself back on, sometimes immediately. One of my computers cameras also turned itself on recently, noticed by the red light, and I had to restart my computer to get it to turn off. The Windows Camera Frame Server takes up a significant chunk of my memory.
This is a problem because I've been having trouble with programs crashing, even Google Chrome crashes saying I don't have enough memory. When this started happening I deleted unused files and programs, so I don't think I've actually run out of memory. What
can I do to stop Windows Camera Frame Server from turning itself on?
