					prevent you from removing their service easily. (For example
					the spyware\malware called ‘Command Service’ - "cmdService".)
					These change the permissions to make it more difficult for
					you to delete them. For these you will have to right click
					on the ‘service’ in regedit (regedt32), go to
					permissions and grant the administrator full control before
					the service can be deleted.
