BlackViper says to turn a service to manual, if it's needed it will
start, not for me.
You'll notice some lost funtionality and then yu get to play "guess whats
necessary".

I don't just turn them off, I know what they do, or will google them
first.

Yer not very adventurous then

DNS
client service cause I have a large HOSTS file, and quite a few other
services.

Hosts can slow down loading of pages in FF. I'd rather go with NoScript.

That's why you disable the DNS service.

"Editors Note: in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to
slow down the machine.
This only occurs in W2000/XP/Vista. Windows 98 and ME are not
affected." (then goes on to explain how to disable the DNS service)

Yeah after I read that I figured there were other ways to do things.
Maybe after Ive broken this install I'll try the hoasts fiel.


Avast
warns me when the update file is uploaded to my temp directory (I
don't have activeX installed) and I delete it. (Comodo firewall won't
stop microsoft incoming (built in trusted site?).

I dont use that one
Prolly a way to blacklst what you want tho...

Avast or Comodo? I just deleted both and installed Nod32 and Zonealarm

Well there you go

Avast kept asking if it was ok to delete files, this even when
emptying the recycle bin. I'd turn it off but it would be the
antivirus program I disabled. just too confusing. and my Boot.ini file
changed and avast didn't say a word.

CCleaner wouldnt fix that?
Hmmm...
