Explanation (?): |
This NT LM Security Support Provider service provides support to optional components such as the telnet server, an SQL database server or message queuing. This service uses communication methods other than named pipes. If you are not familar with named pipes then they are a first-in first-out (FIFO) communication system that allows unrelated programs to communicate in unique ways. This service handles other forms of communication though, such as predefined systems. Since this is the NT LAN manager security support provider it uses Windows based communication systems such as LM, NTLM, NTLMv2 and Kerberos to communicate. This service should be left to manual as it only runs when it is needed. |

"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out... and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for 'the universal brotherhood of man' - with his mouth". --Mark Twain
