Does anyone know how to unregister, remove a service?

Via Services in Administrative Tools from Control Panel.
Choose the service in question and disable.
 
Or set startup type to manual first to be sure the service is not necessary. Then if the service never starts on its own then diesable but either one does the same thing. Only manual is safer.

If you want it out of the Services applet then that takes an uninstall of the application usually or surgery in the registry.
 
Remove it from the registry service subkey.

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
