I would warn anyone following its recommended configuration concerning a safe system not to be lulled into thinking they have created a safe environment.
Many services if left running create easy access to your computer for hackers to exploit.
Anyone interested in playing around with †œservicesà¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã‚à  could do worse than start by looking at

Some may be surprised at the amount of system resources that can be saved by disabling potentially dangerous services and others that are simply not needed.
Other than that Wayne, it is an alternative to using the built in services.msc utility that some indeed may find easier to use, thanks for bringing it to our attention.
EDIT
If anyone bothers to look at the above link, somewhere in there the guy states "
When you restart your machine if that service has started then it is probably required by one of your components or software products."
He may equally have added the warning "Or started by some evil hacker who has already installed something nasty on your machine! Beware!
