www.BlackViper.com: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Services 411 - Telnet

Telnet

Default Description:

Enables a remote user to log on to this computer and run programs, and supports various TCP/IP Telnet clients, including UNIX-based and Windows-based computers. If this service is stopped, remote user access to programs might be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Additional Information:

This service is not available on Windows XP Home. It allows remote login to the local computer via the telnet function. For security reasons, disable this unless you specifically require its functionality. You will save about 2 MB of RAM by plugging this security hole. After the installation of Service Pack 2 or 3, this service is disabled by default.
