www.BlackViper.com: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Services 411 - NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing

NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing

Default Description:

Enables an authorized user to access this computer remotely by using NetMeeting over a corporate intranet. If this service is stopped, remote desktop sharing will be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Additional Information:

This service may create a big open door for the unwanted. If you are paranoid about security, disable this function. Even if you were not worried, I would still get rid of it. With XP Service Pack 2, the Workstation service was listed as a dependency, but after the installation of Service Pack 3, this is no longer the case.

Additional Reading:

None at this time.
