Drubei Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Windows Easy Transfer is use upgrading the OS. If you do a clean boot install you won't need it.Manual Install is when you insert the CD in windows, you can click on upgrade.Both of these services are needed to be able to have the upgraded feature.I disable both of them since doing a clean install is always best.I don't know much about Distribution Link Tracking ClientWindows Defender scans your computer to see if there are any problems.It is not needed since you can get a 3rd party software to do the fixing.Do not remove Windows Firewall as it might cause some connection and update problems.Just disable the service if you don't use it.You can remove Security Center. It is safe. I have no problem so far with it removed. Edited February 20, 2008 by Drubei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
