Thanks, yet again, for your patience with me. Your quoted post was informational to me whether you had sleep or not, plus everyone makes mistakes, everyone knows that.
I was not expecting every one to research each and every service that i had disabled and to manually see if it would cause problems so i apologize if i made it seem that way. Seeing if they cause problems is what I am doing. Which is basically just disabling services for your average home user.
I also understand that bench marking tests could not necessarily be accurate as far as what I am trying to determine. I could take the time to view the exploits at sites such as exploit-db.com and other's alike to see if disabling these services will add to security but i do not have that much time on my hands at the moment. Like you with your part time AD gig, i have things i do aside from my day job as well. After all, this is real life.
To keep everyone up to date with the services i have disabled I have had zero problems so far disabling the services that i have disabled. Since my original post HERE I have also installed VLC and changed from using COMODO to using Windows 7 Firewall since someone stated that COMODO will conflict in certain ways with MSE. All with no problems. I have not experienced any issues at all, whatsoever.
When i get time to do the research on MS Services exploits i will add them to this forum with as many facts as possible. If anyone has a good list of exploit sites that I can bookmark to research (when i have time) for the sake of this topic, that would be great
So far the only exploit sites i am aware of are: exploit-db.com and securityphresh.com
Thanks to all.
