Re: KillAV script update - how to stop an NOT_STOPPABLEservice

I have tried to use the "sc" command to stop a service on Windows 7 and
get the response: 

 

[SC]: OpenService FAILED 5:

Access is denied. 

 

The service was flagged as "STOPPABLE" and I'm running the "sc" command
as administrator. Is there something else I have to do on Windows 7 to
get enhanced privileges in addition to running as admin.

 

km.

Subject: [framework] KillAV script update - how to stop an
NOT_STOPPABLEservice

 

I tried finding other .exe files running as AVG and also the services
which are running. However, it is not as simple as "sc stop
service_name" as you guys mentioned previously

 

AVG has 2 services in its version 9 free version - avg9wd and avg9emc

 

avg9emc is a STOPPABLE service and hence can be stopped using "net stop
avg9emc" or "sc stop avg9emc"

 

however, avg9wd is an NOT_STOPPABLE service and hence the above 2
commands will not work on it 

 

the way you can stop it is to first disable it by using "sc config
avg9wd start= disabled" and then killing it. This way it will not be
restarted after it is killed. 

 

I guess this would change the flow of the script a little, as currently
it just kills the processes hoping they will not be restarted.

 

Just want to acknowledge that the above technique was taken from this
video on securitytube :

and make the changes ..
