The other day I was testing some programs, which I know placed services in my computer.

However, today I was looking at the "Services" place in XP and I noticed that some of the services were from old stuff that I uninstalled long ago. Is there an easy way to get rid of these services?

Here is a picture of the window, I am not sure what the first one is and the @clamd and @mysql are from an anti-spam program I was messing with.

You can right click each item and disable it...as far as a one touch solution, if that is what you are after, I'm not familiar with any.

OK thanks guys. I was just wondering as I noticed it was kind of cluttered and had some old, disabled and useless services still on the list.

Hopefully I will find a way to clear them out as they are just taking up space. :P
