prevent others from taking control of your computer

This is kinda funny, I took control of my friends system through remote administration and it blew her mind.... I don't think I have ever even had that enabled when I was connected to the network let alone the internet.

well its a default is always on with windows so you have to take action to turn it off. most people never even know about it or what it can do, they get a firewall and think they are safe not even knowing this leaves you with a back door wide open.
 
i always turn crap services like that off, tends to boost benchmark scores. xp sp2 no sp3 its slower imo, it tends to use around 130 megs and thats with internet connection sharing because i have room mates who leech my computer for their connection hehe.bastards !!
google windows tweaks you guys :-p
 
I know, I was offering an alternative. But I should point out, my method prevents the service from starting at all. Your method sets it to manual. It can still start when it's in manual, if it's called properly.

thanks for pointing out that difference and i have updated my post to offer your alternate and better method. thank you
 
I'm just saying.. this is pretty useless.

I can put trojans in any piece of software I like.. and because is 100% undetected method, you won't be finding anything in there.

Im interested to know if YOU can really do this..
