Problem Description:

English WindowsXP install with SP2 and Windows Services for Unix
installed
Unknown Windows service recognized in Services MMC:
"Servicio de Agenda de Alejandria". Mysterious reboot while using the
system. It is unclear weather this service is related to the problem or
not. AVG and Housecall and McAfee Enterprise didn't find anything. 
Spybot and Ad-aware Personal didn't find anything.

Progress:
Thanks to one listener who tried to translate: "Service for the Agenda
of Alexandra".

Thanks to many listeners who identified the command line method for
shutting down windows services:
net stop <service name>

No light has been shed on the ID of this particular windows service
yet.

Nope, didn't find anything useful in Google because my Spanish skills
are ZERO.
