How to end a service? (Event ID 7000)

[Guest Blithe]

Re: W2K (SP4) - It's a minor nuisance but I have tried to address the

constant warning below by every Internet suggestion I've found, deleting all

references to Symantec's 'ghost' in folders, files, and register. How to

kill a ghost?

 

There must be a way to stifle this particular service. Please advise.

Run the command "services.msc" via the Run box, then disable

the GhostStart Service.

 

I vaguely recall that Symantec offer a sledge-hammer facility on

their site that removes most if not all Symantec applications.

Thanks! Actually, I thought early on that I had followed your suggestion

without having found the service to disable. I must be getting too old for

this. Thanks again.
