RE: [Full-Disclosure] Bug in XP Help and Support, or Don't Be Fooled By Disabled Services


Yeah, I used to think that also. We disable the XP Internet Connection Firwall service because we have our own, a real one. On our ThinkPads, the IBM Access Connections software re-enables and starts it.

The problem wa resolved by uninstalling IBM Access Connections.

I always thought that a service that was set to disabled cannot
be set to automatic and started without user intervention. Hmmm, Just maybe
I could get that pesky AV software to go disabled or better yet, the task
scheduler looks pretty nice...
