Removing a service from services list.

[Greg]

I have uninstalled / removed all Symantec produces from my computer.
"Symantec Core LC" is still listed in the Services list. I have this
service disabled but would like to remove it from the list. Right click on
the service does not show a delete option. Anyone know how to do this?

"Symantec Core LC" is the service description. You actually need to find the
service name.

Example:

"Workstation service" is the service description, but it's Service name is
"lanmanworkstation".

Instructions to remove a service manually from the registry
=======================================

The Service and driver entries are present under this registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services]

Each sub-key represents a driver or a Service. To modify/delete a 3rd party
service, click Start, Run and type REGEDIT to open the Registry Editor and
navigate to the above location.You should be able to identify them easily by
reading the "DisplayName" and "ImagePath" fields in the right-pane in the
Registry Editor.

Note: Before modifying / removing a Service, create a System Restore point
or a complete Registry backup, just in case something happens.

I had exactly the same problem. Put the service name in quotes so it will
parse as a string.

Type exactly:

sc delete "Symantec Core LC"

including the quotes.

It worked like a charm.
